    BTW when business wants to cut the pay of part-time hospitality workers via its attack on penalty rates, it's targeting a sector 60% female.

        @BernardKeane take it you are also against the paid parental leave? That is an equaliser for all females, but instead turns into a class war

        @BernardKeane up in arms because the penalty rate is going to affect F more. But not for equal pay to M's when they take maternity leave.

        @BernardKeane Penalty rates reduce employment and increase prices for all consumers, including disabled and otherwise disadvantaged women.

        @MJGarrett11 I'm sure you can point to some stats or peer-reviewed studies for that. Cheers.

        @BernardKeane You need "peer-reviewed studies" to see how higher labour input costs lead to higher prices? And fewer workers being hired?

        @MJGarrett11 as I said, if it's so obvious, then I'm sure you can show me the data that backs up your initial contention.

        @BernardKeane Funnily, ppl usually don't do research into generally-accepted economic principles. Such as higher input costs = higher prices

        @BernardKeane @the_LoungeFly Of course the Minister for Women is deeply concerned, hence all the work he's put into job creation (or not!)

        @BernardKeane well Tony does get woman. Will cutting penalty rates be the best thing he's done for woman? Getting rid of the CT is so passé
