The underhand manner this Government used to hide their war on women is extra sickening when you consider women gained the vote here first…
When did the Government start work to scale back the pay equity law, and why was that work kept secret?
Using information gleaned from interviews, redacted Government documents, and debate in Parliament, political reporter Glenn McConnell has pieced together a timeline of the pay equity reform.
It took less than two days for the Government to reveal its plan to limit pay equity claims, and then change the law.
The move sparked fierce public backlash from working women, unions, and opposition parties. They criticised the law change, but also the way in which the change happened – with Parliament put into urgency to rush through a bill that had not been campaigned on ahead of the last election.
…how cowardly of this Government.
Look at the detail they have ‘released’
…you can see how panicked National are because they are desperately releasing claims like this…
…bull-shit!
They are lying directly to your faces and hoping you are stupid enough to believe them!
This has nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with trying to fit I to Nicola Willis’ brutal new budget cuts!
The requirements mean nothing now the Government has shut down all existing claims and reset the new threshold, they played this exact same game with emergency housing and homelessness, they changed the eligibility rules to Emergency Housing which threw people onto the street and claimed they had solved Emergency Housing!
They are pretending this will make things easier and clearer – that’s an outright lie to your face, here are all the current pay equity deals the Government has just voided…
…how much must hate women to pretend this is acceptable?
Alt-Right culture warriors scream ‘define a woman’ while the Political Right ‘defund women’.
We have money for tobacco subsides, military and loop holes for wealthy landlords, but no money for our sisters, mothers, aunties, wives, girlfriends and fellow women workers

Seymour cleverly referencing money saving.
This will cost National votes not Act.
Luxon’s sociopath Nats are at war with everyone not rich and privileged the way that they are, regardless of gender, colour, race or creed. L’s Nats wrongly assume that we’re as stupid as they are.
Those two remind me of old Marylou and Rastus jokes with MaryLou and Rastus having been drenched in Media training by some Entrepreneurial Influencer fresh from a Project 25 convention.
Hey Rastus, put your finger in my belly button
OK Marylou
Hey Rastus – that ain’t my bellybutton!
I got news for you Marylou. That ain’t my finger.
(Oh Rastus, I really want your baby)
The real pain is the trashing of current applications. The deserving applicants will still make the 70% 10 year threshold though. Some of the past comparators also seem far fetched. So, perhaps this is a good saving of my taxes.
To be fair, far-left white women are destroying everything white men have built. You probably think that is a good thing, until you and hang out in Africa, the Middle East or India for a while and see where we came from and where we are trying to get back to for reasons.
I can’t see van Velden being friendly with Chhour or McKee. They aren’t in her league. Who would be?
She’s undermining the women of her electorate. They like us to think they are all sorted but their whopping mortgages have to be paid for somehow. Is being knee-capped by vV less awful than being under the
religious patriarchial thumb of O’Connor.
Tamaki hasn’t done too well choosing it’s MPs, has it? They are as bad as Epsom. How are these two very wealthy electorates so bad at making important decisions and choices. They think only poor people make bad decisions. They’d be in a mess if their incomes suffered a setback.
more businesses will close because mum will have less money to spend on the kids .I said before the election that if you are brown,gay.or a woman you are doomed .Now we can add kids as well as these shit heads have no boundaries .
Well, now it’s certainly a one-term government.
That’s the only upside here.
Just a reminder.
Maori women didn’t get the right to vote until much later.
Sound familiar ?
