A new Jobs & Skills Australia Report has confirmed that men out-earn women in 98% of the 688 occupations they analysed.
Surprise! The gender pay gap is real and not just because we’re working less paid hours or don’t want to get our hands dirty.

Australia’s offshore energy regulator has launched an investigation into an oil and gas spill at a Woodside Energy project off the Pilbara coast in Western Australia.
An estimated 16,000 litres of petroleum products were released into the Indian Ocean on 8 May during decommissioning at the company’s Griffin field, 58km north-west of Exmouth and 60km from Ningaloo marine park. The field stopped production in 2009.

First it’s cut 41,000 public service jobs on day 1. Then over 5 years. Then only in Canberra. Then maybe not only in Canberra. Then excluding front line services. Then maybe not. Then only by attrition not redundancy. Then today: also by redundancy. In short: in their DNA to cut public services.
