Suseonline, "I think we are all aware of the obvious differences in pay in some work areas"

Come off the grass, if there was any difference in Award pay and conditions the unions and Ms Elizabeth Broderick the Sex Discrimination Commissioner would be onto it like fat kids with a packet of Smarties.

What you are both arguing for is equality of outcomes not equality of opportunity and pays which already exist. Equal pay and entitlements have existed for many long years.

Perhaps you and Foxy can give Ms Broderick and the unions advice on an Award that breaches the Sex Discrimination legislation? Come on, give the specific example. It would be front page news and the feminists' screams would be more strident and deafening than the engines at the start of a Le Mans F1 championship.

Dear Suse,

Thanks for the welcome back.
And as far as the gender pay gap differences -
they're all displayed on the WGEA websites, which are
taken from the ABS data. The links I've provided
give a breakdown by professions.

See you on another thread.

cont'd ...

It pays to have rules of your own on this forum.

You've also probably discovered, as I have,
to not argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their
level and beat you with experience. ;-)

Again, that reply is very Foxy.

But still no example of an Award that breaches the Sex Discrimination Act.

That is because if there ever was an instance, Ms Elizabeth Broderick the Sex Discrimination Commissioner and unions would be onto it like fat kids with a packet of Smarties.
