The move is part of a four-point plan to close Australia’s gender pay gap unveiled today. auspol 9News

has revealed plans to name and shame companies that underpay women if Labor wins at the next federal election.

He said companies already report the gender pay gap to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, however at present no one knows the outcome of the reports. "I think most Australians would find it extraordinary that there are clauses that prohibit people from saying what their working conditions are," he said.

"Quite frankly, $20,000 of watches was an inappropriate expenditure, in my view, but the idea that that required, when the Prime Minister stood up in Question Time and essentially almost dismissed her on the spot, said she could go, the anger there, I find incongruous compared with the statement with regard to Linda Reynolds."

But isn't all ready illegal to pay a woman less for the same job as a men and vice versa

To demonstrate this process and rather than blaming everyone else I look forward to ALP listing its pay scales to members of the ALP. is AlboMP the leader coz he is paid more or less than Gillard was.

He’s paid more than any woman in his party...

99% of small companies under pay women who do the same role/job that men do🤔🤯 The gender gap is substantially higher. To really understand, government should ask employees, Sector, Job Title, Annual wage/salary before tax. Then will they truly understand the gap.

Here’s an idea, women should work more hours, get the same qualifications and be as competent as a male in the same job and wow, look at that, problem fuckin solved. 🤬🖕🏻

someone looks like they're sleeping in that pic...

thinks the pay gap is real

What, aside from the Equal Pay Act of 1964?

Agree with the equal pay but I think Albo u might get sude for defamation
