Well said, Andrea Vance — again. #PayEquity
Stuff has given Nicola Willis editorial space today, wherein she dismisses criticism of National's foul attack on pay equity for women as an actual attack on women. She means herself!
She fobs off Andrea Vance's powerful column as "childish insults" and "as hopelessly devoid of facts as it was heavy on sexist slurs."
Willis states, without irony, "I’m a feminist" as if that somehow excuses National's attack on low-paid women. She insists that "no woman has had her pay cut." That's technically correct as it's future payouts which have been kiboshed by the Nats.
But tell me Minister, if no women will lose money, how can this rushed & shonky piece of legislation possibly deliver the government a $2bn windfall to blow on tax cuts for the wealthy?
Willis speaks with an extremely forked tongue.

PAY EQUITY PROTEST
@Parliament.
See you there
#payequity #NZPol
Luxon's wife to the best of my knowledge has never held a job outside their home. Luxon has never directly experienced a working partner.
Add to that his fundamentalist Christian beliefs - we're dealing with a man with very conservative views about women's role in society. Finally, there's the reputation at AirNZ for perpetuating a "boys club" environment.
Pay equity very likely just isn't a thing for privileged, traditional Christopher. #NZpol #payequity
This gvt has badly miscalculated public rage on abandoning pay equity, including:
~ reinforcing systemic misogyny
that women can continue
to be paid less
~ using urgency and denying
public consultation - we are
a "democracy" after all
~ taking the electorate for mugs
with a bullshit rationale
of enhanced process
~ using women to rescue their
budget deficit, while property
investors underpay $150M
in tax.

Since coming to power a bit over 18 months ago, this rightwing government led and dominated by conservative mostly white men has blatantly enabled attacks on the rights of Māori, the trans community, people with disabilities and now women.
This is a truly bad government - in 3 key ways: it has and is grossly mismanaging the economy, denying environmental & climate damage, and harming the human and civil rights of the vast majority of it's citizens.

This #PayEquity legislation is a perfect example of how, when #National say "Hardworking Everyday New Zealanders" they mean "our donors"
#NactionalFirst #nzpol
We need to ensure #payequity becomes an absolutely huge electoral problem for this conservative coalition gvt run by rightwing men with shameful assistance from a few co-opted crumb maidens.
Women - esp low income women, migrant women, women of colour - are being sacrificed to pay for this gvt's tax cuts for the affluent and well-off.
This must not be allowed to stand: sign petitions, go to rallies, talk to your friends & neighbours, leaflet, donate, use yr socials, whatever it takes. #NZPol

"Equal pay for women."
I can't believe our little country has regressed this far under the Luxon coalition. To some extent you expect ACT's racism, NZF's anti-science backwards thinking, even National's plundering of public services with a 'Reverse Robin Hood' approach to wealth redistribution.
But denying pay equity to women? That's a new low.

Job postings including salary ranges is really important for #payEquity, so please do your part to help make it a reality.
Signed, somebody who just started #jobHunting again and just stumbled across the first of what I am sure will be many job postings that are not following the new salary-range law.

Happy 80th Birthday to Billie Jean King. She is DEFINITELY one of the #heroes in #NamingGotham. Researching and writing the chapter about her was inspiring! I got to relive watching her wipe the floor with Bobby Riggs as a kid. Plus I learned how she has been a leader on #payequity #TitleIX and #LGBTQIA+ rights #Respect #nyc #history #tennis #newyork #newyorker #newyorkcity #historyfacts #historybuff #awardwinning #book #booktok @histodons
