Labor ‘delivering’ on its promise to close gender pay gap

Transport Minister Catherine King says the Labor government is “delivering” on its promise to close the gender pay gap. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency has released WGEA Data Explorer, which published data revealing the gender pay gap for nearly 5,000 companies. “Last year, we passed legislation that would increase transparency and reporting for gender pay gaps, and today this data has been released,” Ms King said during Question Time on Tuesday. “If those opposite were serious about this issue, they would immediately ask Senator Canavan to withdraw his comments about this data. “If they are serious about it, they will rebuke him for the comments that he has made about the release of this data.”
