"For a number of months it was becoming clear to me that the way the pay equity scheme had developed had departed from its original, I think, very important intent, which was to correct for gender-based discrimination."
I think what she means to say is - MY world was rocked last year when I discovered I had already spent the money that should have paid for the Health workers holiday Act remediation and I was never going to be able to cancel that, so I picked up on things that hadn't yet been settled - pay equity. It doesn't affect our voter base (old, stale, pale) so I grabbed it and moved with urgency to put in place the only possible solution.
I suspect they have poked the tiger this time - it’s not only women, but their families, and you don’t hurt our family….. it’s personal for all working women now.
Its not just working women, there are retired women, women who don't work (for whatever reason). it is 52% of the population. Right now I can't stop thinking about men and women in lower socio economic situations that are working 2-3 cleaning jobs while they have latch key kids in south auckland. The narrow mindedness of this government is outstanding.
And of course there are quite a few men working traditionally female jobs (teachers, nurses, cleaners etc) who are also caught in the gender pay gap so are directly affected.
This latest move, has to be the most sneekest, nastiest, despicable move by any (so called) government definitely on a par with trumpism. We - all of us - should revolt by withdrawing our labors from any form of employment particularly as public servants - on a rolling daily stoppage - a complete down tools for a day! All of us "He's" as well as "She's" should fight this this move - show government that WE are in control - they are minions - for OUR benefit - not theirs. Humanity depends on all of us equally - guys AND girls.
Yes I have often wondered why right wing governments even appoint certain ministers, they clearly don't want them to do anything! Could add ministers for environment and conservation to the list.

Gotta feel for the retired women who thought this was their cause for their time and that they’d fought for it and won.
Time to go again…
