The Equal Pay Amendment Bill was a different story. We inherited legislation that did not have the support of the working women it was meant to help, so we went back to the drawing board, gained a new consensus, and introduced fresh legislation. That bill went to select committee and came back with sensible amendments. At that point, key stakeholders who had submitted at select committee threw out the drawing board and demanded significant changes. I'm not going to follow the Hon Nikki Kaye's lead and repeat my response word for word, but let's just say it was brought to you by the letters "W", "T", and "F". But given the importance of getting the framework right, we got to work. It took over a year of pain and patience on all sides to get the bill passed. The fact that the phrase "Minister, we'd just like to raise one more thing." causes me to break out in a cold sweat is just an amusing side effect. More importantly, we now have a bargaining framework that should see thousands of working women get the pay they deserve.
