Interesting, for a company that doesn't think twice about hiring foreigners to lower their wage bill.

True! Not a good look at all but not good judgement taking a howitzer to shoot a sparrow either! ????

He might even be right in some circumstances, but he turned himself into 'foo was here'.

Or how he conducted himself afterwards. The way he carried on in the TV3 interview made him look lie an arrogant cock smoker who got his way through bullying people. My first thought was that he had never had any media training, but he has been a local body politician and in a high profile senior role, so he had to have had some at some stage.

Which suggests he's either an idiot (unlikely), lacks the ability to keep his feelings to himself (again unlikely, he's a politician) or has ended up thinking he is far more powerful and important than he really is. Failing that he has had a brain meltdown from too many liquid lunches and is on the slippery slope to sitting in a room rocking backwards and forwards while he advises God on how to run the universe.

Statistics, schmatistics...

Segregation of any individual because of their biological differences is wrong, full stop...

Whether silly tarts around the country are taking advantage of it? Different question altogether...If they are TRULY the cause for hardworking, smart chicks out there who work their arses off to make a decent living, without abusing the system and who still get paid less than men, then I'd love to personally smack them.

Example: When smokers supposedly (or truly) take more breaks than non smokers, there was an uproar... but no lowering of pay to smokers for their lesser performance right?

So can anybody explain to me, sensibly and logically, why would women (given even criterions of employment ie: qualifications, hours of work completed, etc) still be paid less than men?

One would think that it would be affecting a minority on a case by case basis, based upon individual performance appraisal...Not a whole nation!!

Don't even go there you naughty girl ...

Whatever might you mean?

But I'm still looking forward to someone answering my question...

No one has said women should be paid less for doing the same job and given your example of the same skill base etc. I fully agree that they should be paid the same and in most cases are.

If a woman or bloke is in bed sick then they are not productive. Regardless of what cause them to get into bed. And once your sick days are up then you don't get paid. So if Bob takes 10 sick days over his allowance then he's not gonna get paid for them is he, hence he takes home less money.

This is all the useless cunt was trying to say, but he pussyfooted about it and chose the wrong words.

lol

So yeah, all he was trying to say, from what I can tell, was "I think women take more sick days and I think that's because they're on the rag"

But yeah, doesn't really matter tbh lol
