Yep Suse, just what I'd like. Fill the place up with noisy smelly brats, no way.

'They should all be back in the kitchen, dressed modestly, doing what the old man tells them, and on their knees giving praise to a male God ....'

actually Susie a few of the worn out 70's feministnow wish they did stay home and have a few kids. Many of the younger ones have woken up to the fact that selfishness leads to barenness later in life.

Aristocrat, the reason women are in those jobs is that men don't want to do those jobs and that generally women are more capable of doing them anyway. They also would rather have a lower paid job than no job at all.

"Barenness "(sic) Runner?
What era due you actually live in?
How do you know their men weren't firing blanks then?

For someone who thinks he is morally above the rest of us, you really are a sad little man.

Susies right, "bareness" is wrong, I'm sure they have lots of de-sexed moggies.

‘morning Conrad,

It looks a little crowded where you stand as there are so many elephants in the room with you.

I worked for over forty years with mostly US multi-nationals and ran my own business for six years. During all those years I never experienced any issues of gender inequality, unequal pay, feminism, glass ceilings or discrimination.

Sure we heard of Germaine Greer and bra burners but it never manifest in our corporate work force, men and women were on the same contracts, same benefits and same career paths. This is the world in which the Gail Kelly’s of this world exist.

There are undoubtedly many equal pay issues in the wider workforce however, these should be dealt with quite separately from political gender conflicts and quota’s. This separation must be established because the whole debate has now been crafted as a political football.

It is curious that in spite of unionized industries, strong and influential unions, EBA’s and such as FWA, this “collective” has failed to address one of most contentious employment issues of our time, equal pay and conditions?

If non unionized sectors can solve these issues, why can’t the entities specifically created to protect these entitlements do it?

When you entered this debate bouncing your political football you lost contact with reality. That is why you seem reluctant to identify from where the solution should come, employment regulators and EBA’s.

All pools of remuneration available in any organization are finite. If any one entity sucks out more for themselves then it has to be paid by those who don’t.

Unfortunately these two entities are too busy extracting more and more from the wages pool of employers to address real employment issues.

You need to stop playing populist politics and put equal pay and equal opportunities in EBA’s backed by FWA. Unless of course those responsible for negotiating them don’t want to reduce their own entitlements to allow equality?
