industry from 2022 following the introduction of a new policy mandate for government projects.
The policy will mean women must make up at least three per cent of trade roles, seven per cent of non-trade positions and 35 per cent of management, supervisor and specialist labour roles in government projects worth $20 million or more.Four per cent of labour hours for apprentices and trainees must go to women.By 2024, there will be penalties in place for failing to meet female representation requirements.
Engineer Melanie Langlois, who is working on the Metro Tunnel Project, has welcomed the idea to bring women into the industry."I wish there were more women working in construction because there's a set of skills that we bring," she said.
Ok so where is equal but opposite quotas for males mandates in nurses, childcare, women dominated industries? This is governement orchestrated, forced, reverse sexism and not about equality but forced employment for women against choice to an ALP govt ideal. Socialist employment
Fabricated Distraction news, while women No1 priority is keeping the vaxx away from their children... This garbage, is contrived to confuse the idiots amongst the human population!
Bit like having transgender compete in female events in Olympics. That went well didn't it. Hahahaha.
When are they introducing male quotas for childcare and nursing?
ibeen unemployed for. years ruined my knees the health system said 3 years waiting period. my son is has some disabilities yet fnd it very hard to find any kind of employment. i speak five languages and advanced computer skilss. no help no retraining nothing
Who says women even WANT TO WORK IN CONSTRUCTION ? I sure wouldn’t .. another sound bite by the worst premier on The eastern seaboard .. because let’s face it , McGowans got the West coast sewn up..
Handouts. If women are keen for the job,they will get it. So if majority of the women went on maternity leave, you will still fine the company. 🤣😂😁. Create something that helps women with children. Majority of them have to force themselves to work from home after having kids
Wasn't it a pathetic 3% of the workforce must be female- whoopdy doo!
And a male quota for teachers?
Maybe males are scared, some might be replaced by women who can do a better job
Capable women who can secure their own places do not need such humiliation.
Moronic ! Best person for the role should get the role regardless of male/female
