I don’t like Jordan Peterson, but this women doesn’t realize that when she says she is surprised that companies that are taking action to shrink wage gap and actually going in the other direction she actually proves his point. That when given more freedom and choice men and women will sort themselves out how they feel with fewer women willing to work longer and harder for money at the cost of time with family and friends. I hate how morons like this make it easy for conservatives to look like economic sages.

This is such an anti-intellectual approach to a made up problem. Can’t people see that they start with the false premise that disproportionate earnings between men and women equals sexism. I think they know that they are ghost hunting because this “gap” won’t disappear and keep their organization alive. It feels so silly that the logic of the pay gap is about as sound as Lisa Simpson convincing homer that her rock keeps tigers away because there are no tigers around.

Looks like the comment section knows more than Libby. Looks like tax dollars well spent. Tax dollars that men contribute 80% of, and womens services deplete 70% of.
Thats sexism libby, but you dont think men are human, hence dont deserve equality.

WGEA has the LEAST diverse workforce in Australia ONLY 3 men work for WGEA and all the people in the top jobs there are white women. The Government should be auditing WGEA for there lack of Diversity. Watching Libby make a fool of herself as well as the whole feminist movement is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I never tire of watching Libby in Senate Estimates.

Its Libby I don't have the Data Lyons. Her Grand Father who was the Prime Minister of Australia must be rolling in his grave as he watches Libby ruining the Family's Reputation. $6.6 Million a year this Agency is the biggest tax payer ripoff of all time.

Libby says that Diversity is good for workplace yet her Agency the Gender Workplace Equality Agency has 28 women and only 3 male employees. Maybe if there was more diversity at WGEA the gender pay gap would be closing faster. It is shameful that this Agency is allowed to waste 6.6 Million a year. When the data from the ABS is so clear men are working more hours on average.

Judith Sloan has debunked this woman and her agency that costs the Australian tax payer $6.6 million a year. But Libby's own admissions her agency has done nothing to lower the gender pay gap.

Men generally take on more high risk jobs, late shift graveyard jobs than women, and the majority of women refuse to take these jobs. These jobs pay higher. Also, women are more likely to go on maternity leave in child-bearing years, which they will take a cut in pay. But the media refuses to acknowledge this data. If you want the data to show equality in pay, have these women take the high risk, graveyard jobs. Seriously.

You cannot see the world as equal, when the same agenda is producing the gig economy and uncertainty.

Global and national phenomena are susceptible to a myriad and combination of factors.
In order to subscribe to the gender pay gap notion, one must ignore all other factors other than sexism.
