What is the approx timing of this @andrewprobyn claim the PM didn't know there was a gender pay gap? Because here is Scott Morrison in October 2020
#auspol #insiders
...and June 2020 at the Committee for the Economic Development of Australia. #auspol #insiders
...and February 2020 at a doorstop
...and on International Women's Day in February 2019
...and September 2018, very shortly after becoming PM. So, is @andrewprobyn talking about some distant time in the past like when he entered parliament? Or that he just mouthed these lines with no understanding? #auspol #insiders
Admittedly he's arguing in most of these that pre-Covid it was closing, but he acknowledges it's still a problem. Also, worth noting this is non-exhaustive, there were many other references I omitted in this thread.
Scott Morrison also knew about the #genderpaygap as treasurer in June 2018 #auspol #insiders
Although it is true that through the Turnbull government he barely mentioned it, the assistant treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer mentioned it much more frequently.
