I cannot help but again refer to the gross anomaly which exists where the female member of the Hansard staff is paid even now $428 a year less than a man for doing the same sort of work. [More…]
The margin of difference was even greater when she was appointed but it is now being phased in under this odd scheme called the ‘Phasing in of female equal rates of pay’. [More…]
It is unique to have a female on the Parliamentary Reporting Staff actually taking shorthand in this Parliament. [More…]
The honourable gentleman also made reference to the basis of the salary paid to the female member of the Parliamentary Reporting Staff. [More…]

How much longer will we tolerate a situation in which the female head of a family of children is treated in this way? [More…]
Unfortunately New South Wales - and I am being critical of the New South Wales Government at the moment - has never applied any restrictions whatsoever on the taking and sale of small, immature crabs or female crabs. [More…]
While this lack of action has denuded the crab population in New South Wales it has also assisted in denuding a large area of the Queensland coast by allowing Queensland professional crabbers to send to the Sydney markets both undersized and female crabs, both of which it is illegal to take in Queensland. [More…]
(2)If so, when does the Government intend to implement the Recommendation in respect of all female employees of the Commonwealth Government? [More…]
No doubt his attention has been drawn to photographs appearing in the September issue of ‘Vogue’ - a fashion magazine - depicting 2 of his Ministers, namely the Attorney-General and the Minister for the Army, acting as male models surrounded by a bevy of beautiful female mannequins. [More…]

The equal pay decision results in the adult female salaries of these staff being increased by $428 per annum between the period 1st October 1969 and 1st January 1972. [More…]
Assuming that from 1st January 1972 the figure of 26,000 females employed in equal pay categories is a representative figure, and that all of these females are in receipt of adult rates of pay, the maximum annual cost of the equal pay decision in a full year would be in the vicinity of $11m. [More…]
The actual annual cost in any year would depend upon the number of females employed in equal pay categories, and the proportion of these who are in receipt of junior rates (the differential between male and female junior rates is less than $428 per annum). [More…]
The situation that they face is that the State basic wage in Western Australia has been increased by $2 per week for males and $1.52 for females. [More…]

The Commission’s nine principles set out in its 1969 Equal Pay Case decision are concerned with determining whether female workers employed under particular Federal awards should be granted the same pay rates as males and are not concerned with determining minimum rates of pay for adult males. [More…]
It is obvious to any member who has a large migrant population in his electorate that the female adult is very slow normally to learn the language. [More…]
Unless there are very young children who in many cases do not learn their native tongue, the need for high pressure involvement to learn a new language is not nearly as urgent for the female as it is for the male who must go to work and therefore has to have some smattering of English. [More…]
In view of his statement to the House on 21st October 1970 (Hansard, page 2540) that his Department has the co-ordinating responsibility for the industrial policy of those departments and instrumentalities which have relativity to outside industrial areas, and that the Public Service Board has the co-ordinating responsibility for other types of departments, will he (a) give the date on which this demarcation of responsibility was adopted by the Menzies Government, (b) state whether his Department endorsed or authorised the action of Commonwealth Hostels Ltd in appealing against the decision of Mr Commissioner E. J. Clarkson in awarding equal pay to female employees and to abolish the interstate differences between wage rates for male and female workers, (c) state whether his Department exercised its co-ordinating responsibilities when the Public Service Arbitrator made a consent determination for the Chief Civil Engineer, Chief Mechanical Engineer and Special Service Engineer employed in the Commonwealth Railways awarding salary increases in line with those rejected by the Public Service Board for Professional Engineers, (d) state whether his Department opposed the decision of the Stevedoring Industry Authority to award 4 weeks’ annual leave at loaded rates for members of the Waterside Workers’ Federation and (e) state whether his Department has ever sought to influence the Public Service Board in the way it carries out its coordinating responsibilities. [More…]
Did Commonwealth Hostels Limited finally agree that some of the female workers whom the Conciliation Commissioner had awarded the male rate in 1968, were, in fact, entitled to such rate. [More…]
Did Commonwealth Hostels Limited subsequently agree that certain of the female workers affected by the award of February 1968 were, in fact, entitled to equal pay but then refused pay and phasing-in retrospectivity to that date. [More…]
In January 1968 Mr Commissioner E. J. Clarkson granted male and female workers employed under the Commonwealth Hostels Award wage increases on work value grounds and, in addition, granted female workers an increase equivalent to the differences between the former male and female basic wages and abolished interstate differences in wage rates for male and female workers. [More…]
Commonwealth Hostels Limited appealed not only against the decision to award female workers a wage increase equivalent to the difference between the former male and female basic wages, but also against the decision to abolish the interstate differences between wage rates for male and female workers. [More…]
and (4) Commonwealth Hostels Limited and the Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees’ Union of Australia agreed that the phasing-in of equal pay for female workers eligible for equal pay should be in accordance with the decision of the Commission, in the Equal Pay Case, 1969. [More…]
Under the consent award female workers eligible for equal pay will receive the full male rate from and after January .1972. [More…]
Why did the Commonwealth not intervene in opposition to the recent Metal Trades Employers’’ appeal against Mr Conciliation Commissioner T. C. Winter’s decision to increase rales of pay for female process workers in the metal trades industry. [More…]
The only case dealing exclusively with claims for wage increases for female workers in which the Commonwealth intervened in recent years was the Equal Pay Case 1969. [More…]
The Public Service Board has never intervened in a case dealing exclusively with claims for increased wage rates for female workers, but appeared in the Equal Pay Case 1969 as a party when it supported the concept of equal pay recommended by the Commonwealth. [More…]
Neither the Commonwealth nor the Public Service Board has ever appealed against a decision in a case which dealt exclusively with wage claims for female workers. [More…]
However the honourable member will be aware that Commonwealth Hostels Limited, a company limited by guarantee, appealed inter alia against a decision handed down by Commissioner Clarkson early in 1968 on wage rales for females employed under the Commonwealth Hostels Award. [More…]

I turn to the figures for female deaths due to lung cancer in Australia over the same period. [More…]

In 1964 the number of female deaths was 297 which was 0.7 per cent of total female deaths and a crude rates figure of 54. [More…]
In 1969 the number of female deaths had jumped to 383 which was 0.8 per cent of total female deaths and 63 on the crude rates scale representing per million of female mean population. [More…]
The figures in respect of female deaths are not as high as the figures for the male rate. [More…]
For example, in the electorate of my colleague, the honourable member for Burke (Mr Keith Johnson) a large factory - Ericssons Pty Ltd - has found it necessary to set up a creche for the female employees because it needs the women in its work force and to attract them it must provide facilities for the children to be cared for.

In the non-metropolitan areas especially, outside the capital cities, textile industries are quite often the largest single employers of labour and in many areas the only substantial employers of female labour. [More…]
What policy and planning has this Government for cities such as Whyalla to provide work for the female labour force and others who desire to work in those particular areas? [More…]
This part of the question asked for updating of the information which was shown in reply to a previous question (Hansard, 20th-21st May 1970, page 2486) on the number and percentage of male and female primary teachers who resigned from the Education Department in each State. [More…]

There were 30,500 males and 6,500 female students. [More…]
I hope that there will be much more opportunity in the future for females to enter colleges of advanced education. [More…]
This total seriously camouflages the position as between unemployed in metropolitan a’td non-metropolitan areas, between skilled and unskilled unemployed, between males and females unemployed and between single and married people unemployed. [More…]
In fie non-metropolitan areas - those areas outside the capital cities - there are 3 males seeking each available job and nearly 4 ladies chasing each job available for Female employment. [More…]
Oddly enough, in the metropolitan area according to the statistics in regard to female unemployed, there were 9,800 job seekers and potentially 17,000 available jobs, which would seem to throw some doubt on the descriptive classification between jobs and job seekers. [More…]
If it is proposed that all female workers who are not doing the same or similar work to males should be given a substantial wage increase, the cost, of course, could be considerable. [More…]
On the basis of the Australian Council of Trade Unions claim, which was a claim for approximately $8.40 increase in female wage rates, the cost could be in the vicinity of $500m per annum. [More…]
Particulars of wages and salaries paid are not available for males and females separately from the sources used for this series; average weekly earnings are therefore calculated in terms of male units, i.e. [More…]
total male employees plus a proportion of female employees, the proportion being determined by the estimated ratio of female to male average earnings. [More…]
The level of this ratio is affected by the factthat the proportion of females in lower paid occupations is greater than that for males, and that overtime and over-award payments constitute a higher proportion of male than of female earnings. [More…]
Whilst I was in the secondary classes at Telopea Park School a new female kindergarten teacher came to the school - a very vision of delight, all we secondary students felt. [More…]

4152, under the Commonwealth Public Service Act maternity leave can be granted to female permanent officers for a period of up to twenty-six weeks. [More…]
These provisions cover a considerable proportion of female employees in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. [More…]
4132, I am informed that reviews are being undertaken of the positions in the Territories with respect to female employees other than officers of the Commonwealth Public Service. [More…]
Can he say what countries have ratified and implemented the 1932 International Labour Organisation Convention and Recommendation for maternity protection of female employees. [More…]
For the purpose of the Convention the term woman’ means any female person, irrespective of age, nationality, race on creed, whether married or unmarried, and the term ‘child’ means any child whether born of marriage or not. [More…]
As regards the period of maternity leave which must be taken, the position relating to female officers in the Commonwealth Public Service is in conformity with the requirements of the convention. [More…]
Female officers are required to take a minimum of 6 weeks’ leave before the expected date of confinement and a further 6 weeks after the confinement and are entitled to take up to a total of 26 weeks’ maternity leave. [More…]
A considerable proportion of female employees in the Australian Capital Territory and in the Northern Territory are Commonwealth employees. [More…]
In addition, as has been indicated above, female officers in the Commonwealth Public Service may use recreational, sick and long service leave entitlements during the period of their maternity leave. [More…]
For the first time in our history female employment increased more than did male employment, public employment accounted for 60 per cent of the increase, and males employed in manufacturing increased by only 1,000 despite the fact that this is the category that accounts for one-third of total male employment. [More…]
The honourable member might say that the industry must consist of female labour and add a whole string of other sort of criteria. [More…]
I was rather surprised when the evidence was unfolding before the Committee to hear of the difficulty experienced in getting female labour to work in the hospital laundry. [More…]
One would think that with so many new-Australian women in this region the task of getting female labour for a job where they would not encounter language difficulties would be much more simple. [More…]
a non-forfeitable right, and maternity leave on full pay for all female employees of the Commonwealth Public Service. [More…]
For female students the figures were 3 per cent and 11 per cent. [More…]
provide in our proposed amendment that a temporary employee shall take leave of absence and be entitled to be paid maternity leave and such leave benefits on account of pregnancy as are applicable to a female officer, that is, a full time teacher under this legislation. [More…]
The final part of the amendment concerns the pregnancy of female teachers and the fact that general Commonwealth Public Service provisions which are laid down for them are inadequate. [More…]
But the plain fact is that clause 33 allows pregnant female teachers to take off a period of duty not exceeding 26 weeks of which something like 20 weeks can be before confinement. [More…]
Again I do not really see at this point that there is a great bone of contention there but it may be that the honourable member for Fremantle is right in wanting a greater latitude and flexibility of operation in that circumstance with regard to female members of the fraternity. [More…]
The honourable member went on to say - I will not labour the point now, and that is not meant to be a pun - that there is a distinct difference between a female clerk working in comparative secrecy or isolation and a teacher who has to stand before a class. [More…]
Therefore, you cannot liken the position of a pregnant teacher to that of any other female in the Public Service who might be in that condition. [More…]
The Government has never legislated in the interests of female workers in regard to equal pay. [More…]
(5a) A female temporary employee who has become pregnant shall take leave of absence and be entitled to paid maternity leave and such leave benefits on account of pregnancy as are applicable to a female officer in accordance with this section. [More…]
Mr Chairman, the amendment that the Opposition has moved is in relation to the matter of leave for a female officer in the case of pregnancy. [More…]
A female temporary employee who has become pregnant shall take leave of absence and be entitled to paid maternity leave and such leave benefits <on account of pregnancy as are applicable to a female officer in accordance with this section. [More…]
What the Australian Labor Party is proposing is that there be a more generous provision for female officers whether they be temporary or permanent. [More…]
Therefore, it ought to be an accepted part of our procedures that a pregnancy is treated in a special way in respect of female employees. [More…]
But, as far as I can hear, the only proposition which has come forward as persuasive argument in relation to special treatment is that there may be cause for embarrassment for the female pregnant teacher in front of a class. [More…]
Some people have just been looking at a television programme and talking about a school programme for 12-year-olds, male and female. [More…]
But I think that it is a little out of keeping with the general context of our social environment at the moment for it to be proposed that the average female teacher might suffer undue embarrassment in the early or middle stages of pregnancy by being in front of a class. [More…]
The Department of Labour in the United States, in its monthly publication ‘Employment and Earnings’, releases figures of unemployment rates according to age (adults/teenagers), sex, marital status (both male and female), colour, industry and occupation. [More…]
In the provincial towns where textile mills mostly operate they are the only substantial employers of female labour. [More…]
It must be realised that, as far as the female unemployed are concerned, these amounts of money that will be provided under the Bills that we are discussing will do very little, if anything, towards relieving any unemployment that the girls and women find themselves in today. [More…]
As we all know, this applies mainly to female labour, for 75 per cent of those employed in the textile industry are females. [More…]
This section prohibits the certification of an agreement or the making of a consent award where the agreement or the award includes provisions that effect standard hours, the minimum wage, female rates or any question of annual leave or long service leave with pay. [More…]
This proposed new section enables the Government to bring about its wage freezing policy, because it provides that the power of the Commission to make an award or to certify an agreement for, or altering, the standard hours of work, minimum wages, female rates or annual leave is exercisable only by a full bench, during which proceedings the Commonwealth itself can intervene to put its case for wage freezing. [More…]
I seem to recall that in the last century *.he colonial government ran female factories from which single males selected their mates. [More…]
On a seasonally adjusted basis, female employment fell between February and March. [More…]
I think that it would prove offensive not only to the members of Parliament but also to the female secretaries who handle this type of matter. [More…]
Will he bring up to date the information which his predecessor gave on 23rd April 1971 (Hansard, page 2031) on female staff employed by the Administration of Papua New Guinea. [More…]
Let us look at the situation as far as females are concerned. [More…]
The 2 principal female categories in which there are large degrees of unemployment are in the clerical and administrative field and in service occupations. [More…]
Over the same period, twothirds of the unemployed are adult males in the 2 male categories I have described, and in the 2 categories of females it is three-quarters of the total number who are unemployed. [More…]
The age distribution of all pensioners is not known nor is there any distinction drawn between male and female pensioners in Repatriation pension statistics. [More…]
Undertakings made in respect of child minding centres as an adjunct to or even as a consequence of or a response to an increasing proportion of females in the work force are not the same as the establishment of or the responsibility to establish pre-school education on the part of the Commonwealth. [More…]
I draw attention to the fact that there has been a relatively rapid increase in female participation in the work force; I think we have reached a level of female participation of around 40 per cent. [More…]
I do not have the figures at hand, but I do know that the level is considerably higher than it was a few years ago and that it now approaches the levels which have long operated in European and, since long before that, Asian countries where almost entirely predominantly rural occupations are engaged in by both the male and female populations. [More…]
In Canberra, where there are so many demonstrations, they have to deal, not only with decent protesters, but with male and female hooligans who join in whenever and wherever there is the slightest hint of revolt. [More…]
Is the Minister for Primary Industry aware of the controversy now taking place at Boyanup in Western Australia, where live weight sales of cattle were introduced some time ago and where butchers recently have refused to buy female cattle over the age of 12 months and now are insisting on their right to buy these female cattle by appraisal? [More…]
They are what the female of the species believes is necessary for her adornment. [More…]
For example, in Western Australia until this year no State housing accommodation at all was available for single male aged pensioners, and for both male and female single age pensioners there is now a waiting list of five or six years. [More…]
There had been a great deal of mental anguish particularly on the part of the aged female residents of the homes. [More…]
As the Minister for Customs and Excise (Mr Chipp) has just said, these facilities are for 310 male and female Aboriginal students preparing for secondary education or undertaking 3-year post-primary courses. [More…]

The pension for a single female who is paying rent is $24 a week. [More…]
Then there are all the female age pensioners between the ages of 60 and 65. [More…]
While presenting the House with some caution about the possible disruption to dispensing services available to the public, I think it is also relevant to recall the evidence given before the Select Committee to the effect that enrolments into pharmacy courses have dropped dramatically in recent years and that there also has been a sharp change to female rather than male enrolment. [More…]
The experience of the industry has been that female pharmacists do not spend many years actively in the profession and this, together with the likely closure of pharmacies, presents us with a potential problem regarding the future ready availability of dispensing services to the public. [More…]
I say to the Minister also that no industry has been set up in Whyalla for the employment of females. [More…]
Whyalla consists mostly of a shipbuilding yard, and the Government has done nothing to overcome this problem of female employment. [More…]
Most importantly, they revealed that child care facilities had not kept pace with the rapid growth in the female labour force during the 1960s, and that, as a consequence, existing child care facilities were inadequate, qualitatively and quantitively, for the growing numbers of children needing them. [More…]
But in the perimeter electorates on the borders of the great cities I believe that as the work grows one female secretary is not sufficient to handle all the work involved. [More…]
This may or may not have been a good thing, hut the industry was not able to obtain a female work force of adequate proportions in a well known Sydney suburb because sufficient people were not interested to be employed. [More…]
In that case female labour was involved. [More…]
The Department of Labour and National Service has been studying and promoting from time to time particular initiatives, such as the one relating to child care centres, in regard to the female work force. [More…]
The Department has recognised the increasing involvement of females in the labour force of the country. [More…]
The possibility of creating an annexe to cater for female registrations at premises nearby is one alternative which could be undertaken whilst the other much needed offices are being investigated with a view to their establishment in Belmont and Canning. [More…]
Even from the brief description I have been able to give it will be apparent that we are working steadily towards creating the widest possible range of opportunities for all Australian citizens, young and not so young, male and female, to enable them to develop their talents to the full, to their own social and material benefit and that of the nation as a whole. [More…]
Secondly, as far as female Navy personnel are concerned, what is the proposition? [More…]

Weekly payments under any of the preceding sub-sections of this section are not payable to a widow or other female dependant, or dependent widower (as the case may be) of a deceased employee after her or his marriage after the death of the employee, but, if immediately before the injury or death of the employee, the widow or other dependent female or dependent widower (as the case may be) was wholly, substantially or partly dependent upon the employee’s earnings, a lump sum equal to the total of one hundred and four weekly payments, at the rate payable to her or him immediately before her or his marriage, is payable to her or him upon her or his marriage. [More…]
If the Minister for Customs and Excise (Mr Chipp) had a female member on his executive staff would she be discriminated against? [More…]

We on this side of the chamber are not persons who are opposed to preference to trade unionists, as has been mentioned tonight, but we stand here totally opposed to any concept that any member of the Australian work force - male or female, skilled, unskilled or semi-skilled - ought on any basis to be forced to join a trade union against his will. [More…]
It also provides for war service homes benefits to be granted to certain unmarried female persons with qualifying service under the Act. [More…]
The proposed extension of eligibility to unmarried female persons who have qualifying service under the Act is designed primarily to benefit single and widowed nurses and exservicewomen without dependants who served overseas with the forces in the 1939-45 War. [More…]
However, we consider that there is a strong case on the social welfare grounds for exempting female persons with qualifying service under the Act from this requirement. [More…]
A provision has also been included which will empower the Director to grant a maximum repayment term of 50 years to all female dependants as defined in the Act who are eligible for assistance under the Act. [More…]
But although all adult males were entitled to the vote in all States by 1900, female suffrage was accorded in only 2 States at the time of federation. [More…]
Two other States, probably indicating their reactionary and conservative culture, did not introduce female suffrage until after federation. [More…]
Both States now have conservative governments - Victoria, which introduced female suffrage as late as 1908 and Queensland, which introduced it as late as 1905. [More…]
The average age of female maturity is much lower than that. [More…]
We employed specialist officers to develop progressively counselling facilities such as those for wives and single female migrants. [More…]
I ask the Government: Where are its female members? [More…]
The first figures show the breakdown of the female component in the work force by age and compare that component with the male component. [More…]
The present policy is one of selective subsidising and is beneficial to only one section of the female population. [More…]
It should recognise the financial disability caused by basic female biological functions. [More…]
This concession is provided to encourage a person to make financial provision for his own retirement, or for his dependants when he dies and one of course could add ‘her dependants’, if it is a female. [More…]
That all words after That’ be omitted with a view to inserting the following words in place thereof: whilst not declining to give the Bill a second reading the House is of opinion that provision should have been made (a) for the effective period of service to be 6 years, (b) for the concessions granted to single or widowed female members of the Forces without dependants to be granted also to single or widowed male members of the Forces without dependants and (c) for amendments to be made to the principal Act in respect of the title to the dwelling-house, unit or lot to enable the serviceman to borrow on second mortgage and give valid security to the lender”. [More…]
Wilh regard to the provision in the Bill that this concession be granted to single or widowed female members of the forces without dependants, 1 think this is an excellent suggestion, but I fail to understand why the Government did not take the logical further step and include male members in the same category. [More…]
These female members in my opinion are entitled to the concession, but why the difference between sexes? [More…]
The necessary statistical information required to make a precise assessment of the cost of the introduction of 6 weeks maternity leave on full pay for all female wage and salary earners is not available, one of the main deficiencies being a lack of data on the number of women who leave the labour force in any one year because of pregnancy. [More…]
In a decision handed down on 15th December, 1972, in the 1972 Equal Pay Cases the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission adopted the principle of ‘equal pay for work of equal value’ for female workers employed under its awards and determinations of the Public Service Arbitrator. [More…]
The precise cost of applying this principle cannot be assessed with any degree of accuracy as it is impossible to predict in advance the value which industrial tribunals will place on work performed by female workers who have not been awarded equal pay in accordance with principles laid down by the Commission in its 1969 Equal Pay Cases Decision. [More…]
Equal pay will flow to all females (adult and juniors) not already receiving equal pay whose wages and salaries are normally varied in accordance with awards and agreements of industrial tribunals, but not to other female employees. [More…]
On average females not already receiving equal pay will receive a pay increase equivalent to the differential that existed immediately prior to the introduction of the total wage between male and female basic wage rates and adjusted for subsequent increases to the total wage granted in National Wage Cases. [More…]
Because the States of New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania (in respect of Crown employees only) have legislation governing the conditions for the granting of equal pay for females employed under their respective State awards, it cannot be assumed that the recent Equal Pay Decision of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission will flow to female workers employed under State awards in these States. [More…]
The estimated number of female invalid pensioners aged 16 to 45 at the end of February 1973 was 22,400. [More…]
The estimated number of female sickness beneficiaries aged 16 to 45 at the end of March 1973 was 2,500. [More…]

As the Minister for Housing (Mr Les Johnson) advised the Parliament in his second reading speech the Bill has four main purposes: Firstly, to make provision for the extension of the war service homes scheme to include those members of the forces who have completed a specified period of defence service; secondly, to make provision for an increase in the maximum loan under the scheme from $9,000 to $12,000; thirdly, to make provision for the granting of war service homes benefits to certain unmarried female persons with qualifying service under the Act; fourthly, to provide for the extension of eligibility to certain persons who served overseas with the Australian forces in the 1939-45 war, or in war-like operations subsequent to that war, as accredited representatives of a welfare organisation. [More…]
It is a steadily rising figure- It is important because in many areas of contemporary social work it is valuable to have male social workers as well as female social workers. [More…]
Low wage rates and multiplicity of classifications for semi-skilled and female workers especially in mass production industries, results in a high degree of exploitation. [More…]
I am moving right now to resolve the question of the keyboard groups who, because they are not attached to an equivalent male group, are finding it more difficult than other female groups have in the past to show that they are not being paid along the principles of equal pay. [More…]

[More…]
With the present equality of wages which is coming in for male and female workers and the very heavy wages which are payable to people in the lower age brackets who are unmarried, there are considerable saving opportunities. [More…]
The proposed legislation will entitle female officers and employees to at least 12 weeks’ maternity leave on full pay. [More…]
The Government, therefore, is introducing the new benefits and leave entitlements in respect of its own female officers and employees - I suppose it is not necessary to say ‘female’ officers - to enable each person concerned to fulfil the role of mother and, if she wishes, to continue her career after the birth of her child. [More…]
The effect of this Bill will be to maintain the income of the female employees concerned during the period when they are on leave prior to and following confinement. [More…]
Some of the other features of the new scheme are: Commutation of retirement pay will be a right for members who retired after 1 October 1972, subject only to applications for commutation being made within one year of retirement or such longer period as may be necessary in special circumstances; management of the scheme is to be vested in a statutory authority on which all the Services will be represented; reversionary benefits will be extended to de facto widows and the member’s illegitimate children, in certain circumstances, and dependent widowers of female members; the rates of pension payable in respect of children and orphans will be increased and, provided they are receiving full time education at a school, college or university, will continue in payment until age 25 years; invalidity pay will no longer be subject to suspension solely on account of earnings from civil employment; a contributing or recipient member may, if he is dissatisfied with a decision of the authority in relation to invalidity classification or any other matter of general administration of the Act, have his case referred to an invalidity review tribunal or any administrative appeal tribunal, as appropriate, for hearing and decision. [More…]
The Maternity Leave (Australian Government Employees) Bill 1973 in essence provides for 12 weeks’ maternity leave on full pay for all female Commonwealth public servants. [More…]
For the purpose of this Convention, the term woman’ means any female person, irrespective of age, nationality, race or creed, whether married or unmarried, and the term ‘child’ means any child whether born of marriage or not. [More…]
This provision is designed to ensure that a maternity protection scheme should not make the employment of females more expensive for the employer than the employment of males, so giving cause for discrimination against female labour. [More…]
The Women’s Bureau was established because of the significant increase in the size of the female work force in Australia. [More…]
It also can be pointed out that the New South Wales Public Service provides paid maternity leave for its female employees. [More…]
I believe that even a cursory glance at the available statistics will establish beyond any shadow of a doubt that the overwhelming majority of female employees who are married are continuing in employment to do no more than to supplement the family income and so to provide the basic needs. [More…]
The introduction of more advanced technology has resulted in a greater demand for female labour. [More…]
Married women now represent a far greater proportion of the female work force. [More…]

But in 1971 almost 60 per cent of all female workers in Australia were married. [More…]
It removes an obstacle to female career employment in the Commonwealth Public Service. [More…]
It must be gratifying to all those who for so many years have fought and struggled against discrimination against female employees to know that on this occasion this legislation will pass through this Parliament without opposition and that it will have support, in varying degrees of vigour, from all members on both sides of this Parliament. [More…]
The Union is asking that a female employee who becomes pregnant be given 6 months’ leave, 3 months before and 3 months after the birth. [More…]

Will the proposed legislation which will entitle female officers and employees of the Australian Government to at least 12 weeks maternity leave on full pay involve payments by the Government in its capacity as their employer. [More…]
If paid maternity leave for female officers and employees of the Australian Government does not involve payments by it in its capacity as their employer, does the provision of paid maternity leave by the Australian Government to these officers and employees discriminate against other employees. [More…]
They are special superannuation arrangements, book and equipment allowance to Commonwealth Teaching Service students, the repeal of regulations affecting female officers’ absence from duty due to pregnancy and child birth and finally the provision of special educational duties in respect of members of the Commonwealth [More…]
There are industries in the country and perhaps industries employing predominantly female labour which will be affected by this decision, but as I have said we have built into this, for the first time in Australian history, a comprehensive system of adjustment assistance which will allow for that. [More…]
The high employment growth implies a marked increase in labour force participation rates and this will be achieved only by greater female participation. [More…]
The industry is a major employer of female labour. [More…]

That all words after ‘That’ be omitted with a view to inserting the following words in place thereof: in the opinion of this House Commissioners should be appointed to inquire into the family, social, education, legal and sexual aspects of male female relationships with particular emphasis on the concept of responsible parenthood, such enquiry to investigate and evaluate the following matters in Australia and overseas and make recommendations for areas within the jurisdiction of the laws of the Australian Parliament and further to indicate whether such recom mendations should be implemented through existing bodies or through government instrumentalities to be created: [More…]

Following the 1950 basic wage decision there was an anomaly in New South Wales whereby female employees missed out on receiving a 1 addition because of the increase from 54 per cent to 75 per cent in the female basic wage. [More…]
The New South Wales Parliament passed legislation eventually to give that 1 back to the thousands of female wage and salary earners in that State. [More…]
We have weak trade unions and strong trade unions, parts of the labour force highly organised and able to affect their own wages and conditions, and parts, like the frequently sweated female textile workers, disorganised and defenceless. [More…]
The other aspect concerns female migrants. [More…]
I believe there are many female migrants in every major city in Australia, particularly wives of migrants who may be in the older age bracket, who have a great deal of difficulty, and it appears not a great deal of incentive, in learning English. [More…]
I want to know how long it will be before we take the most positive step and employ at least one male and one female Aborigine on the staff of this Parliament and let overseas visitors who come here see that some positive step has been taken to train them in the Parliament that purports to be so concerned about the welfare of these indigenous people of our country. [More…]
I am positive, too, that there would be no problem in obtaining adequate staff to train these young people, both male and female, in the particular trades they want to follow. [More…]

It is because the New South Wales Parliament has passed laws with respect to incomes that in that State all wage and salary earners, male and female, were able to get equal wages and salaries, paid annual holidays, paid long service leave, quarterly cost of living adjustments, sick leave and a great number of other benefits - all done by a Parliament which had the power to pass laws with respect to incomes.

We believe that there should be a reduction in Government spending; a progressive reduction in the interest rate structure; the provision of taxation relief for lower and middle income earners; a revision of the migration program to attract skilled and semi-skilled migrants in areas in which labour today is in such scarce supply; the introduction of a retraining program to deal with the structural problems in the labour market; the introduction of a dual program to increase female job training opportunities and apprentice training schemes; the imposition of a growth limit on the Commonwealth Public Service; the abandonment of the pace-setter’ principle now applying to the Commonwealth Public Service; the introduction of a program of restraint for both wages and prices; the adoption of a flexible exchange rate policy to prevent a build-up of externally generated liquidity; the adoption of measures to increase the economy’s productive capacity; the flexible use of competitive policies; and the implementation of a national productivity program to narrow the gap between minimum money wage expectations and economic capacity.

The following situation has been put to me in South Australia: What protection is given to a wife living in a house, with another female living in that house, and the husband- how can I put this delicately? [More…]
When one breaks down the statistics, one finds that 2 out of 3 males are not covered and 4 out of 5 females are not covered for superannuation. [More…]
When one breaks it down on a work class basis, one finds that 4 out of 5 manual workers are not covered by any form of superannuation and that more than 9 out of 10 females employed in manual work are not covered- further evidence of the sexist basis of discrimination in superannuation. [More…]
The worst off are the female manual workers in the private sector, only 6 out of every 100 of whom are covered by superannuation. [More…]
This ignored, as I said, the effect, for example, in the electrical industry of previous wage determinations, where already the female work force, which is a substantial work force in that industry, had been given complete equality of wages with the male work force. [More…]
The Association has only 4 male administrators and 10 female office assistants. [More…]
The research shows that the group provides employment opportunities for a wide range of skilled and unskilled workers, for urban concentrated workers as well as for dispersed rural workers, and for an ample number of female workers, which in the current economic climate is a most important factor.

However, the majority of training programs being undertaken by female trainees falls into 2 main categories: [More…]
The length of training for female trainees in Western Australia is broadly as follows: [More…]

How do the contrasting actions of the usual captains of the parliamentary cricket team and the parliamentary Press gallery cricket team in relation to the participation of a female senator in this traditional cricket match accord with the spirit of any such UN conventions? [More…]
I cannot but help draw a certain parallel between the honourable member’s remarks and those made by Henry Louis Mencken, a noted 19th century American editor, who no doubt at the time did not realise that there were female socialists. [More…]

It is an industry which can and will develop into a highly proficient section of our community, employing the female workforce throughout the world as it does, in a way in which no other industry can employ them. [More…]
May this provision not simply be encouraging the development of a race of female Bluebeards in our midst? [More…]
Hospital records at Daw Park over the past 15 months indicate that there have been 5 operations on female patients which could be described as cosmetic. [More…]

Changes within the economic structure of society, particularly the access of females to higher education and to the job market, has had an impact upon fertility rates also. [More…]
The cost of earnings foregone should a mother give up her job have concomitantly increased and the role of the career woman as opposed to the housewife has become increasingly attractive to the female section of the population. [More…]
From 1947-34 80 per cent of the increase in the male workforce and 60 per cent to 70 per cent of the female workforce consisted of migrants. [More…]
In Western nations the structure of the apparel industry is the same, being made up of numerous small countries supporting a large number of female employees. [More…]
I imagine that he talking about brucellosis in female animals. [More…]
It has been the policy of successive Governments for many years that, in order to satisfy the Work Test, a female recipient of Unemployment Benefit should be required to accept employment away from home provided that the person concerned is over 18 years, is single, and is not pregnant. [More…]
The Commonwealth Employment Service has a clear policy in relation to female workers wishing to undertake seasonal work. [More…]
For example, in the case of the dried fruits harvest, in the Sunraysia district, if any females indicate they would like to work on the harvest, and if growers are willing to accept them, the CES will not refer them unless, to the best of its knowledge, the accommodation is of acceptable standard. [More…]
Equal pay for female workers at the canneries, about which I suppose we can have no moral objection, but this is an added cost. [More…]

The announcement of the Minister for Defence caused officials of several organisations concerned with imbuing young people, both male and female, with the same qualities stressed by the Minister to contact me. [More…]
So it will be a considerable time before the Government decides to implement even one scheme so that the qualities which are instilled in our male youths will be available to the female young people of Australia. [More…]
On the other hand, in Adelaide both male and female spiders have been recorded. [More…]
Two notable innovations were the introduction of the tape recording service for parliamentary committees, and the employment of female reporters to which you, Mr Speaker, drew attention. [More…]
There is no doubt that in the manner of the implementation of his reforms he has made our sitting in the Parliament more enjoyable because he has introduced female members to the parliamentary Hansard staff. [More…]
I was the first Minister to appoint women to the Federal judiciary; the first Minister to appoint a woman as an arbitration commissioner I appointed two of them- and the first to insist upon the appointment of a female first assistant secretary. [More…]

The Finer Report, the report of a community on one-parent families in the United Kingdom in July 1974 found that even at the level of disposing of everyday chores and despite the degree of merger between the traditional roles of male and female which has taken place in the last decade, many household tasks still tend to be allocated sexually. [More…]
Of course this inquiry will do nothing about them, because this inquiry will concern only those people in the post-secondary stage; it will do nothing about the unemployed, the dole bludgers, male and female, who will be leaving school after the third or fourth form. [More…]
a dependent female; [More…]
What percentage of the workforce is employed in the travel/tourist industry and how much of this is female labour. [More…]
Even the failure to receive award conditions or an employer’s immoral behaviour to a female employee do not constitute a defence against this embargo. [More…]

I suggest to the Minister that he must have within his Department cases where female employees especially, and I suggest junior males, have made complaints to his Department because they were asked to carry out functions which were not properly part of their employment. [More…]
1 ) How many more persons, male and female, adult and juvenile, would now. [More…]
The other thing which I find of concern is that most of the industries which are due to be wiped out or which are recommended by the Commission to be wiped out are industries which have a high employment content of females. [More…]

It was a female. [More…]
Hopefully I would have finished up with 2 females on the Commission, and that would have fulfilled the requirement that this Government proposes to put into the legislation. [More…]
There is nothing in the legislation to preclude all the commissioners being female. [More…]
If I might dare suggest it, to specify 2 females is rather sexist. [More…]
It should be up to the Government to appoint more females because obviously they represent a larger section of the community than one would gather from the representation of only one female on a body of nine. [More…]
When the Australian Labor Party came into power the reports on the state of technical education in Australia indicated that 70 per cent of the male work force and 80 per cent of the female work force had no skills. [More…]

It should be noted that, in classifying the persons surveyed in May 1973 as being responsible for children, responsibility was assigned, wherever possible, to a female- mother, stepmother, foster mother or female guardian. [More…]
A male was classified as being responsible for a child only in cases where there was no such female. [More…]
The tourist industry is still finding it difficult, as are many other industries which depend upon such a large content of female labour, because of the decision taken by our industrial tribunals in relation to equal pay. [More…]
About 62 per cent of the employees in the tourist industry are females. [More…]
It has a high content of young people and female office workers, as well as of unskilled and semi-skilled males. [More…]
The Minister advised me in July that a review of the employment of women in the armed forces was being undertaken with the aim of evolving common corps for each Service with like conditions and responsibility for male and female members. [More…]
That arose because when the vacancy occurred I was not able to find someone from Tasmania at the time and as I wanted a female I appointed a lady from Victoria. [More…]
True, there was only one female commissioner. [More…]
My crime there was that Dr Edgar who had been chairperson of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board’s Advisory Committee on Program Standards was a female academic. [More…]
If we look at the description of the commissioners in a generic way we find a genus geographic, that is that there must be one commissioner from each State; a genus female, that is that there must be 2 women; and then a genus others, which I suppose can mean anything. [More…]
I should think that the membership of that Advisory Committee would be about half and half, male and female. [More…]
In many ways the female members of the Committee are ahead of many of the men who serve on it in their attitudes to standards and types of programs and in a real understanding of how the Commission should function. [More…]
This Administration realises that through traditional and habitual inclinations people are inclined to overlook the qualifications and talents of the female. [More…]
Rather than denigrating the role of the female the proposed subsection ensures that people are required to take pause and to consider the undeniable qualifications of women for the job. [More…]
How many of these employees in each industry were (a) male and (b) female. [More…]
The 25 per cent tariff cut damaged that industry to about the same extent as an increase of about 13 per cent to 16 per cent in wages, depending upon whether they were male or female wages. [More…]
It should be noted that Repatriation Statistics do not differentiate between male and female members of the Forces and the term ‘veteran’ in the table includes females. [More…]
The number of females coining into this category in the Evans Electorate would be small. [More…]
1 ) How many (a) male and (b) female students in Forms 4, 5 and 6 in New South Wales schools will be leaving school at the end of 1976. [More…]
How many (a) male and (b) female students at universities and other tertiary institutions in New South Wales are expected to obtain their degrees in 1 976. [More…]
The number of females employed went up by 20 000, but of course over the last decade or so a very substantial growth in female employment has been in part time jobs so that the full time equivalent would be much less than 20 000. [More…]
We treated the female shoe hand made on the Italian last in the same way as we treated the mainland China thong or the Hong Kong thong. [More…]
These include smaller families, higher female work force participation rates, longer periods of formal education, the employment market’s emphasis on accreditation, the increased affluence of many members of the community, and changing life styles. [More…]
When one looks at how total employment is increasing, one sees that it is increasing by a decrease in male employment and an increase in female employment. [More…]
Since that date general unemployment has risen by 33 per cent, youth unemployment by 87 per cent, Aborigine unemployment by 50 per cent, and female unemployment by 45 per cent. [More…]
That applies especially to females. [More…]
The incidence of female unemployment is extremely high. [More…]
It is up to the unions and Labor governments to obtain the best possible conditions for workers, whether migrant or not; but that does not mean that the migrant workers, both male and female, would prefer not to come to this country rather than work in often unpleasant jobs. [More…]
This may be due to the fact that there is now greater female access to higher education and to the job market. [More…]
Yes- At 17 March 1977 one part-time female pay clerk was employed in the community store. [More…]
Five female shop assistants were employed on a casual basis (approximately15 hours per week). [More…]
Six juniors, both male and female, were employed at weekends on a casual basis (approximately 10 hours per week). [More…]
This has happened because a large percentage of female employees is engaged in the work force of the garment and textile industry. [More…]
The third point is that the Commission of Inquiry into Poverty- I am summarising these points- showed that the incidence of poverty is greatest in the single male and the single female tenant groups. [More…]
The figure is pretty constant, and the rather alarming thing is that the only plus is an increase in female employment greater than the decline in male employment. [More…]
As a female, migrant school in a low socio-economic area, we have the base aims of equipping students to cope adequately with varied situations in life, to contribute positively to their community- local, ethnic and Australian. [More…]
It would be a more appropriate exercise for the honourable gentleman to ask himself and his colleagues why they still continue to prosecute the case for full wage indexation in Australia, because it is the high level of wages that has effectively priced many Australian workers- male and female, young and old- out of jobs in this country. [More…]
1 ) What taxation concessions, rebates or other forms of taxation relief are available to the following groups of people: (a) male divorcees, particularly with respect to relief for those paying maintenance for children for whom the former wife is entitled to family allowances, (b) male “single” supporting parents, (c) female “single” supporting parents and (d) persons who are maintaining or helping to maintain relatives in nursing homes. [More…]
and (c) If a resident, a “single” supporting parent, whether male or female, would be entitled to the general rebate of tax on the same basis as in (a) above. [More…]

[More…]
If increased wages are the cause of unemployment why has female employment increased whilst male employment has decreased? [More…]
What increases there have been have occurred in the female area, not the male area. [More…]
Yet female wages have increased much more than male wages. [More…]
Another exhibit in the case put by the Australian Council of Trade Unions showed that the ratio of female earnings to male earnings had moved from 58 per cent in September 1973 to 66 per cent in June 1977. [More…]
At the same time the female unemployment rate had declined from 1.9 times the male rate to 1.5 times the male rate. [More…]
Dealing with the period from the June quarter 1 976 to the June quarter 1977 the Commission used the increase in the consumer price index of 13.4 per cent The Commission argued- the honourable member for Gellibrand accepted the proposition and would have the House accept it- that because the consumer price index had increased by 13.4 per cent against respective increases of 10.8 per cent, 10.9 per cent and 1 1.8 per cent in average weekly earnings for adult male minimum wage earners and adult female minimum wage earners, there had in fact been a real reduction in wages. [More…]
The honourable member for Gellibrand suggested the factor of female employment. [More…]
The honourable member for Gellibrand touched on it but I think he should have gone further and pointed out that in the 10 years from 1966 to 1976 the percentage of married females in total employment has increased from 14 per cent to 21.2 per cent. [More…]
At present there are 1,287,000 married females in the total work force. [More…]
The cost of employing a female in a similar job has risen by 86 per cent. [More…]
The toilets, male and female, were extensively defaced with slogans on feminism. [More…]

It will give producers additional income within 15 and 20 months when they sell off their spayed female cattle in a once only situation - [More…]
Let us look at the migrant female work force in Australia and at the growth in it. [More…]
More than that, if they come from the country or are a migrant or of Aboriginal extraction or regrettably are born female they face a higher unemployment rate. [More…]
This is made up of 3,994,900 males and 2,204,600 females. [More…]
According to the document from which I read the membership of unions in December 1976 was 1,950,600 males and 841,300 females, and total of 2,791,900. [More…]
From December 1975 to December 1976 there was a decline in male union membership of 0.8 per cent, and the same percentage decline applied in female union membership, making a decline in union membership of 0.8 per cent in the 12 months of 1976. [More…]
In 1 976 63 per cent of males and 47 per cent of females in the work force were in trade unions, the total number of persons in the work force in trade unions being 57 per cent. [More…]
As the honourable member for St George said earlier today in this place, in March this year there was a disgraceful exhibition when the Builders Labourers Federation invaded the offices of the Building Workers Industrial Union, tossed furniture all around the place, and frightened the female staff of that office. [More…]
If not, what percentage of the male rate is received by female (a) privates, (b) corporals, (c) sergeants, and (d) commissioned officers. [More…]
1 ) The present method of salary fixation for females in the Defence Force provides for equal pay where it has been established that men and women do perform equal work. [More…]
Thus equal pay applies in respect of male and female medical and dental officers and nursing officers of equal rank. [More…]
Male and female members at private level also receive equal pay according to skill category. [More…]
Female non-commissioned officers receive the full private rate plus a margin for rank of about 80 per cent of the male rank margin. [More…]
It does not mean that this formula is applied rigidly in every case when adjusting salary rates for females in the [More…]
The whole question of pay fixation for female members of the Defence Force, including the question of equal pay, is currently under consideration by the Committee of Reference for Defence Force Pay. [More…]

[More…]
At the present moment 78 per cent of our aged population in Australia, that is all male persons over 65 years and female persons over 60 years, receive a pension. [More…]
Because of the significance of female participation for the future of the Australian labour force, there will be a growing need to come to terms with the apparent disparity between women’s aspirations and the existing realities of the labour market. [More…]
I mention also the spaying of female cattle less than 2 years of age. [More…]
Female workers [More…]

In this period female earnings also rose at a rate faster than male earnings, reflecting the implementation of equal pay for women. [More…]
The junior males and junior females were almost evenly divided at 251 and 255 respectively. [More…]
I will touch upon the significance of the junior female figures presently. [More…]
That catastrophe now is reflected in the numbers of youth in the homeless, both male and female. [More…]
Last year I supported an application by the Salvation Army in my electorate for a Commonwealth Youth Support scheme grant of about $25,000 to assist homeless male and female youth. [More…]
On taking a position in my electorate office to conduct interviews, I had three or four Aboriginal people, male and female, attend my office. [More…]
It is indeed a question which we should all consider carefully and seriously, but the point that I want to make above all other points is that this legislation would not have my support- would not have my vote- if it did anything to restrict the right of the Australian citizen, male or female, to follow a particular cause in any corner of the world. [More…]
If they were to publish for a couple of weeks in a row a nude female on page 3 to try to boost circulation, they would be likely to have a line-up of angry mums from the local area outside the editor’s office saying, ‘Look, we are trying to raise families in this area’. [More…]
Females of this strain are blind and cannot survive in the field. [More…]
Males are not blind, but are partially sterile and transmit the genes for blindness to their female offspring. [More…]
The combination of male sterility and female blindness can, in theory, cause genetic death rates of more than 90 per cent in each generation. [More…]
A 16-year-old female was apprenticed to a ladies’ hairdresser for a few weeks at the beginning of this year. [More…]

Another factor may have been the different composition of unemployment in this recession; increased job opportunities for women led to a rise in female participation rates while the greater relative decline in the manufacturing sector, in particular, led to a rise in the level of male unemployed, the latter being less likely to leave the labour force. [More…]
Secondly, female employment was again stronger than male employment. [More…]
This year’s statement fails to analyse correctly the impact of female employment. [More…]

[More…]

He said that if we were to try to achieve the pre- 1 974 situation in the labour market, we would be looking towards an increasing labour force as a result of immigration of some 20,000 people a year, a return to the pre- 1974 trend in female participation rates, which is considerably below what it is now, no change in the participation of young people and education in the work force, respectively, and no normal additional participation following an increase in the demand for labour. [More…]
One other fact that concerns me greatly and, I think, should concern this House is the delay in providing pay at equal rates to female service personnel who were granted it some eight or nine months ago and have yet to be paid, I understand, because of delays in the Attorney-General’s office. [More…]
It is an entitlement that female serving officers have and they ought not to be subjected to a delay of the order that has already taken place. [More…]
Last January, female members of the armed services were granted equal pay but they still have not been paid and my understanding is that they are not likely to be paid for some considerable time and will be lucky to be paid this financial year moneys which are due to them and on the payment of which decisions have been taken.

The reason for the delays is that the Attorney-General’s Department has as yet not found time to draft the necessary regulations to provide for the payment of equal pay to those female serving officers. [More…]

[More…]
If increases in female wage rates are excluded on the assumption that the principle of equal pay for equal work is a social rather than an economic matter, and using a productivity criteria of long-term trend growth in the market sector of the economy with a starting point of 1973, it is even possible to show a 5 per cent wage underhang [More…]
