PM's policy punishes women

While women in the Australian Parliament consolidate cross-party legislative powers, the policies of misogynist Prime Minister John Howard continue to marginalise and punish half the nation's citizens.

"The gender pay gap in the private-sector full-time labour market is widening, as is the gap between those on awards and those in the bargaining stream", according to a report by the Women in Social and Economic Research group at Curtin Business School.

Moreover, "The potential exists for gender inequities to grow."
Co-director of the research group, Dr Alison Preston, suggests that "the fears that women would be worse off under Australian workplace agreements are starting to show through in the data".

Sydney Morning Herald economics writer Matt Wade highlights the report's claim that the "average gap between full-time men and women in the private sector has grown from 17.8 per cent to 19.4 per cent since May 2005".

"Including the public sector, the gap is 16 per cent, or $9218 a year."

As Howard's bitter hatred of women continues to drag the nation through the sewer of male privilege, the case for constitutional reform providing for women's and men's legislatures presided over by an executive of elders
accompanied by courts of women's and men's jurisdiction mounts.
