"As International Women’s Day comes around once more, the latest gender pay gap
figures for Australia have made for disappointing reading, including naming
those companies where the gap is widest.

Looking at full-time equivalent total remuneration, the gender pay gap in
Australia is at 21.7%. Yikes.

As she launched the government’s latest gender equality strategy at the Press
Club on Thursday, Finance Minister and Minister for Women Katy Gallagher called
this “an eye-watering disparity”.

So what are the key points in the strategy and what actual difference is it
likely to make?"
