Appreciate how much of an abuse of power the Government’s war on women is

ByMartyn Bradbury

Just pause and appreciate the enormity of the abuse of power this Government has committed to launch their war on working women by pretending they are somehow legitimately trying to redefine pay parity.

Firstly, their justification is a lie purely to allow for steep budget cuts.

Pretending it’s some type of legitimate action is bullshit, because if it was so legitimate, why announce it and them simply ram it through 2 days later while misusing urgency?

Why deny everyone a say on this?

Why take billions directly out of the pockets of working women so they can pay for tobacco subsidies, military hardware, landlord loopholes and tax cuts we can’t afford?

If the pay parity challenge was so legitimate, why announce it in secret and ram it through?

Why wasn’t the Ministry for Women even consulted on it?

The claim that there was some legitimacy in what they have down because Pay Partity was somehow too confusing is a bare faced lie.

Andrea Vance said it best…

“Turns out you can have it all. So long as you’re prepared to be a c*** to the women who birth your kids, school your offspring and wipe the arse of your elderly parents while you stand on their shoulders to earn your six-figure, taxpayer-funded pay packet.”

…this is the country where women fought and gained the right to vote first, this Government has kicked those working women in the face and we all have to pretend that’s ok because ‘Poise Parker good/covid vaccine evil/Jacinda bad’ bullshit.

You need to take a long hard look at your bitterness and rage right wing Trolls, it ain”t winning people over anymore, there’s only so many times you can cry Trans Wolf to gloss over the brutality of this Government’s agenda!

  1. Clearly it’s ok to be an evangelist and a consummate bullshit artist.

    Less than a week ago they were admitting it was about the money, now not so much.

  2. Luxon has reminded us how truly incompetent he is in his handling of pay equity but if he had been remotely capable of communicating the detail, it would be obvious that change was needed. You can’t have comparators that don’t suffer scrutiny and handing out billions of taxpayers money to groups who were only 60% women. National needs to sack the bald Jacinda. He’s skill short and clueless.

    1. Comparing the useless bald Luxon to Dame Jacinda shows just how worthless your comments are.

    2. How do you know what they have done to pay equity is right Ennus?
      If you are taking the financial word of Willis then you’re more of an idiot than I thought you were.

      We will never know. All we know is that they have saved money for the budget and Seymour admitted as much, that much we do know.

  3. Consider this – if your world view is that the government is like a large corporation with thousands of employees and ongoing costs etc. then as a corporate CEO or CFO you’d make the hard decisions and ram them unapologetically into your employees and clients lives – who just happen to be the people of NZ and the broad economy, in this case.
    The outcome for the corporation (government) is lower costs and a return to decent returns to shareholders in the form of lower taxes and less oversight etc. for the NZ business community.

    The current government, I believe, do not view their roles as anything more than a recruitment opportunity for the roles they actually want in executive leadership, in the private sector, after their term in government is completed.
    If they can demonstrate the ability to push through unpopular but huge cost saving changes – that is CEO and board membership flag waving. It’s not really about managing a complex, modern economy effectively and I don’t think they really care because that isn’t why they are there.
