Work Equality & Super for IWD

Wednesday, 9 March 2016 - 8:30am to 9:00am

Work Equality isn't just about wage equivalence. Having work places that plan for women to leave to have children and be able to come back within a year is a measure of Australia's global gender gap rating. The CEO of Breastfeeding Australia says that Australia has fallen to 36th place from a a15th place ten years ago. We speak to Sally Shepherdson about her experience with a company that plans for the success of their female employees. The Turnbull Government recently suggested lower paid workers should be kicked out of the Superannuation system. Women will be most affected according to Ged Kearney from the ACTU. It is a bad idea she says.
