Gov officials are asked about their own statistics showing a gender pay gap in Australia.

They end up being forced to admit that the entire gap could be explained with the fact that women work less hours than men.

As far as I know you cannot pay a female employee less than a male in this country. That's law.
The above is an embarassment to all involved. Unbelievable in fact.
So from that do we infer that females can work less hours than males for the same pay? Is that what they're trying to establish?

That's pure gold. If you are a bloke in those organisations, you are going to have to strive hard to bridge the gender pay-per-hour-worked gap. Knock off at 3 each day. On Fridays, take a traditional long luch at 11, and just don't return until Monday morning, like Dad and his mates did in the good ol days.
Towards the end the lady says (paraphrased) they might have people sitting at a desk for 12 hours a day, doesn't mean they are getting 12 hours of work out of them. Too true! I know of a couple of young fellas in one of these departments, they get a list of outcomes to achieve each day, they've satisfied the quota within the first hour, spend the rest of the day playing League of Legends against each other - triple figure salaries. You go boys!

All this trouble for Sweden was foreseeable with a mostly young male influx, who did not want to integrate (maybe the bombs were not foreseeable!), but who could argue with the virtuous idealists in charge of policy - that is before the bombs started. Bombs are hard to ignore.

"The Trans Reckoning Is HereNina Power
Last week, the Cass Report, written by the pediatrician Hilary Cass at the request of England’s National Health Service, made waves by calling into question the medical justification for hormonal and surgical treatments of gender-dysphoric youth demanded by activist groups and embraced by the medical establishment. The report states that the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones should be discontinued, not least because their long-term effects are unknown. Instead of taking narrow claims of dysphoria at face value, Cass adopts a holistic approach, arguing that such statements must be considered “within the context of poor mental health and emotional distress among the broader adolescent population.”Â
There is and will be major institutional and legal fallout to all this, as well as a feeling of relief (mixed with anger) on the part of all of us punished for dissenting from gender ideology. It feels like Britain is waking up from a collective bad dream. But how did any of these terrible and false ideas get taken seriously, let alone get played out, in many cases irreversibly, on the bodies of children? There are deep psychoanalytic questions here. First and foremost, how did the natural process of puberty—entering sexual maturity—become pathologized? How and why did medical professionals, not to mention unqualified people running pressure groups and charities, come to imagine that staving off adulthood through the use of dangerous drugs was the right response to childhood distress?
The desire to suppress puberty in children—who often have autism diagnoses, as Cass notes—must be understood in the context of a culture that is more broadly self-infantilizing. A culture that fetishizes youth but also safety..."

it's all a bit nuts, was going to link most bizarre animals taken on a plane, but have something a bit more thoughtful.
We'll segue into the world of Warhammer 40K, which is in chaos (geddit?) as the company making it are going woke while their fans are not.
At about 7 minutes in, this very intelligent fellow precisely describes how the morals of the past (do good, help others) has been completely replaced by a new morality (inclusion/representation only looks for systemic oppression and pays no heed to any intrinsic moral worth of an act, ergo it is without morality as previously defined) and thus what appear to be completely crazy actions are justified when viewed from a prism of systemic oppression. You will find this neatly explains clown world.
blood for the blood god
It’s about time to realise that it’s not profit- driven motivation turning all these Western corporations towards shooting themselves in the foot with woke ideology.
Perhaps…the key shareholders ( Blackrock , Vanguard etc ) actually want to run these iconic Western corps into the ground. After all….when you’ve got influence/ control of the government and the central bank printing presses ….why do you have to worry about money anymore? When you’re official partner of the private institution who prints the World’s reserve currency…why would you care about cash flow? You don’t. Instead you control corporate boards to direct society.
For example : Disney is not about making money anymore. It’s a dual function institution to demoralise the West through immoral and divisive woke propaganda whilst simultaneously running itself into the ground as a vehicle of Western social iconography.

?si=N5giEK_K8GsUXf0fThis next one is less than a minute and describes the power that Larry Fink has over the world . He’s the CEO of Blackrock if you’re not aware.
Very interesting. I went and read his 2022 open letter to CEOs. I can see where he's coming from, but as a presumed major shareholder in said CEOs companies, the requests for providing plans on these issues, and mentioning a team to monitor them...
Stakeholder capitalism is the term, WEF is big on it. Could be argued it's about capitalism adapting to demands from outside and thus remaining relevant, could be argued it's absolutely necessary given certain perceived threats eg climate, could be interpreted as a hijacking of boards for activists' purposes.
Very powerful man.
PS in other thread SJY you will never convince SR of DV statistics, for it is exactly the place of each group in hierarchy of victimhood that determines the response you will get. Thus, no matter what data you show, no receipt of this will be made, as per video explanation I listed above, and separate from any moral judgement on the issue.
The problem is when the DEI seed of activism gets planted all through business and government and sprouts too vigorously (either organically from managers / employees going too far with the new meme or it is implanted with new recruits who pitched their activism as a selling point).
Such seeds can move from a useful new idea to an invasive weed fed by the fertiliser of virtue signalling and group think.
Disney is full of such growth that is now out of control and has a life of their own. It is written into policies on casting and script writing overriding commonsense. The US goverment has it everywhere with tens of thousands of very activist Obama era appointees still in place.
Here is a simple local real world example of how it can impact. A Company has to submit an environmental management plan to the EPA. A range of concentration levels of a particular substance that occurs naturally in water but also a residue from blasting is seen as acceptable worldwide.
An activist employee (over enthusiastic?) chooses to put in a very low concentration level (unrealistic ... heroic) in the management plan which once approved gets "set in stone" in the approved plan.
Management spot this too late and now cannot proceed with the project without huge additional costs. There are minimal real environmental benefits in the very low concentration level outcome specified but big costs to the business and their customers.
The activist employee was playing paper tiger but now is probably known as the million dollar goose.
That example has clear cause / effect which can lead to not repeating such mistakes.
But often the connections are not so clear and disfunction just builds in systems as in many US cities these days. Thousands of poor decisions made for activist agendas, rather than good practice, end up with San Francisco style crime ridden inner cities and streets lined with human poop.
Ah. Found the true answer. It's the Corporate Equality Index administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Go to 29:00 here if tldr, it seems these guys hold deity power over corporate boards as well:

do you really think it is acceptable to lock people up for social media posts?
that guardian cartoon is so mindlessly dumb it doesn't warrant air time
but I'll pick up on this now recently often touted phrase 'social cohesion'
there's one major factor that has undermined social cohesion across the whole western world - over the top migration
this has been brewing for decades - this top down imposition - that never ever considers or even acknowledges people's concerns...
now the shit has hit the fan, big time...
because of many factors, but they're all at boiling point right about now
and governments answer is to display a heavy handed approach to social media and the like
thought policing
there's only one way this ends...
and that is not well
Make a cuppa, go sit on the sunny front steps and breathe in life. Exhale
nah mate
this needs discussing
the mistakes governments are currently making are so fucking reactionary and stupid they beggar belief
I'd like to ignore the UK situation, but albo and co. have already revealed these tendencies themselves, before any of this even happened. and oz - being the mediocre 'lucky' calibre we are - just tend to follow them anyway...
this shit needs airing and nipping in the bud
you could argue the UK voted for this... but really... on about 30% of vote...
and now stamer's approval rating is at negative7%!
these ain't normal times...
I just looked at a kangaroo grazing in my yard.

It matters nought in your world either Sypkan.
just in relation to 'the elderly' being used in click-bait headlines, it's funny how we are still collectively meant to think of 'the elderly' as a benign, nice, helpless mass. I had a pisser experience a few years ago. Upon seeing an 'old couple' walk out of a department store, hand in hand.. I got a bit misty eyed. The husband turned to the wife, and said loudly: 'well that was a fucking waste of time, next time you have an idea keep it in your fucking head!'. She didn't bat an eyelid.
Bet he'd be a real peach online.
Ah the old days.
Thankfully they are ending. Maybe?

I don't think it is acceptable for people to destroy and loot businesses due that business being owned by a individual of a certain ethnic or religious groups.
I don't think it is acceptable for a mob to attack and beat up an individual because they belong to a certain ethnic or religious group.
If someone is posting material that directly leads to the above, well yeah they are inciting violence and it should be dealt with accordingly.
In all sincerity, @sypkan, have you been listening to Coleman Hughes' stuff? Give it a whirl if you haven't, I think you'd find his well-articulated points salient, and his demeanour engaging. ABC radio ran him in relation to the festival of dangerous ideas, and the Australian had an article from him today. Another good example of media not being the worst thing in the world. here. yet. I love this subject, as I see both sides clearly, and the price for a good society is eternal discussion.
the first part of your post goes without saying andymac
but the second part slips into wishy washy subjective land...
12 weeks custody for this?
"A 51-year-old man in Egremont, UK named Lee Joseph Dunn has been thrown in jail for 12 weeks over 3 MEMES. Memes that show images of migrant gangs with a caption saying "Coming to a town near you". This is absolutely insane..."
you think that is 'accordingly'?
the judges justification...
"...Here's what the judge said: “I don’t accept that your comments and the emojis that you posted were directed at the police. I’ve read in the case summary of the comments you made on arrest which clearly demonstrate to me that there was a racial element to the messaging and the posting of these emojis.
“That has to be reflected in the sentence as does there need to be a deterrent element in the sentence that I impose, because this sort of behaviour has to stop.
“It encourages others to behave in a similar way and ultimately it leads to the sorts of problems on the streets that we’ve been seeing in so many places up and down this country. This offence is serious enough for custody.”"
sorry to go all qanon on you...
but personally I'd rather see the pedos locked up

you cannot turn this around by suppressing dissent
it's impossible
I'm sure some would love to just call me racist...
truth is, I love our multicultural society, but I see it crumbling apart at the seams
here's something for the woke mob to jump on... I actually find it alarming the overt racism I now see on social media. truly ugly and distressing, only the last few years or so, but it's taken a real ugly turn...
censorship ain't gonna fix it
police state most certainly ain't gonna fix it
