If we look at that 9-point formula to which the Commonwealth has adhered and which it persuaded the Commission to adopt, we see that it contains, among other things, a provision that to merit equal pay the work performed by females must be the same or substantially the same as that performed by males under the same award; that the work must have the same range and volume as work performed by males; and that it must be performed under the same conditions as that done by males, lt is also provided that females must be doing work which is not usually performed by females unless a corresponding classification applies to them.

But under our Social Services Act we have allowed this kind of schemozzle to develop, lt is time that these unaccountable injustices were swept away and that people in identical circumstances were given uniformly high rates which should be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the upward movements in average male earnings.

I want to look at pensions in relation to what are called average male earnings, which have been mentioned in the House from time to time. [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…]

1st January 1970 there were of the order of 26,000 females employed within the Commonwealth Service in categories eligible to be covered by the equal pay phasing provisions. [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.

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…]

Nevertheless, it is possible by a deductive process to do this and, according to the statistics, if one takes the character ‘spouses’ - I do not think there are many wives who claim for their husbands and I think it is still preponderantly the husband who claims for the wife; therefore in my view one can use the category ‘spouses and housekeepers’ for a comparison of those male taxpayers who still claim support for their wives - there are 1,360,000 spouses claimed for and 874,000 of them, which is near enough to 2 out of 3, are in this lowest range of income, that is, less than $4,000 per annum or $77 per week.

Does this refusal to apply retrospectivity mean that the females concerned will not only lose the increased pay which, except for the appeal, would have operated as from February 1968, but also, instead of qualifying- for the full male rate as from January 1970, they must now wait until January 1972, before so qualifying.

Again, there is the case of a married couple where the male partner is receiving the age pension and the wife is under 60 years of age. [More…]
The one and only satisfactory method of providing a fair and just pension is to adopt the policy enunciated by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Whitlam) during the 1969 election campaign - that is, that the pension should be 25 per cent of the average weekly male earnings. [More…]
I think that a more justifiable comparison would be: How does the pension now compare with the average adult male weekly earnings in the community, that is, with what the average male brings home each week? [More…]
Actually, this Government has no intention of making regular and proper adjustments to the several social service items, whether in relation to cost of living, purchasing power, average male weekly earnings or anything else. [More…]
As a matter of fact, if we use the average male weekly earning rate as a basis of comparison - to my mind it is a fair comparison if we are going to talk about community standards - then pensioners trying to live on the pension today are substantially worse off than they were in the early 1940s. [More…]
In 1946 the pensioners received 25.5 per cent of the average male weekly earnings. [More…]
In 1949 child endowment paid to a family with 3 children - which is close to the number of children in the average family - represented 11.3 per cent of the average male earnings. [More…]
Average male earnings are now $88.50 a week, so child endowment represents less than 3.95 per cent of average male earnings. [More…]
For my purpose now I use the single rate age pension, which is the higher value pension at the moment, as a percentage of average male earnings. [More…]
The rate for the single age pension in 1949 as a percentage of average male earnings was 24 per cent. [More…]
The single rate pension in 1971 is 20.3 per cent of average male earnings. [More…]

Today it represents .6 per cent of average male earnings. [More…]
Child endowment for 3 children under 16 years of age represented 11.3 per cent of average male earnings in 1949. [More…]
Today it represents 4 per cent of average male earnings. [More…]

One thing that is most disturbing is the very small number of families led by adult male wage earners that are covered in this scheme. [More…]
At 30th June this year there were probably no more than 2,000 families led by male wage earners in this subsidised scheme, in the class A, class B and class C system. [More…]
The answer is that virtually every adult male wage earner in this country has been excluded from the system because of the minimum wage means test. [More…]

A table in the report shows that of the school leavers whose fathers were in the category of unskilled or semi-skilled, and who totalled 33 per cent of the fathers of all male school leavers, only 1.5 per cent entered university. [More…]
In contrast, only 2 per cent of the fathers of male school leavers were classified as university professional, but 35.9 per cent of their sons entered university. [More…]
If we include full time entrants to universities, teachers colleges and technical colleges at that particular time, as before there were 33 per cent of the fathers of male school leavers who were in the classifications of unskilled or semi-skilled. [More…]
Of their school leaver sons, 4.4 per cent entered teritiary institutions where they represented 1 3 per cent of all male entrants to such institutions. [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…]
However, the results of a Survey of Weekly Earnings of adult male employees which was conducted during May 1971 give statistics relevant tothe honourable member’s question. [More…]

I would like to make a comparison similar to that made by supporters of the Government when complaining about increases in wages, that is, a comparison with the average male wage. [More…]
In 1946 the unemployment benefit paid to a man and his wife was 35.3 per cent of the average male wage. [More…]
Taking into account the increase of $7 a week proposed by this Bil] the unemployment benefit will represent 30.7 per cent of the average male wage. [More…]

There is a hard core of unemployment and, as I shall try to show in the limited amount of time available to me in this debate, in the male sector it is in 2 categories, namely, semi-skilled and unskilled manual. [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…]

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…]
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…]
For a single male paying rent the poverty line is $23.33 a week, as adjusted to Professor Henderson’s figures. [More…]
However, the single male pensioner paying rent receives $24 a week. [More…]
For the single female paying rent the poverty line is $21.71 a week. [More…]
The pension for a single female who is paying rent is $24 a week. [More…]
Firstly I want to deal with the rates paid to age and invalid pensioners and the relationship that they have to average male earnings. [More…]
For a long time the Australian Labor Party has been committed to lifting the basic pension rate to 25 per cent of average male earnings. [More…]
A basic pension rate of 25 per cent of average male earnings, as the Labor Party advocates, was in fact paid to pensioners more than 3 decades ago in this country. [More…]
The second choice is to employ a governess or male teacher, which is a fairly expensive exercise even if they are available. [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…]
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…]
In those branches where the Convention provides for periodical benefits the issue arises whether ratification may imply acceptance of the principle that rates of benefit are to be directly related to the wage of an ordinary adult male labourer. [More…]
Last year 49 male officers in the Air Force and 24 male officers in the Navy resigned. [More…]
Is it an offence for an Aboriginal male to have carnal knowledge of a young Aboriginal girl in the Northern Territory. [More…]
What are the legal obligations of an Aboriginal male whose relationship with a young Aboriginal girl results in the birth of a child. [More…]
What was the (a) number and (b) percentage of (i) male and (ii) female students in final year of secondary education in each State and Territory in 1971. [More…]
What was the (a) number and (b) percentage of new (i) male and (ii) female university students in each State and Territory in 1972. [More…]
How many medical graduates from Australian universities were there in each of the last 10 years, and what percentages of them were (a) male and (b) female graduates for each of the same years. [More…]
I believe that Mr Bill Riordan was the last male in the family. [More…]
All pensions will be immediately raised by $1.50 and thereafter, every Spring and every Autumn, the basic pension rate will be raised by $1.50 until it reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [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…]
We propose that these lump sums be related to the national average weekly earnings per employed male unit as published by the Commonwealth Statistician and this will provide an automatic adjustment at quarterly intervals. [More…]
50 until it reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
I have doubts and reservations as to whether with increases at the rate of $1.50 the Government will be able for some time to raise pensions to 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
At present the average weekly male earning is listed as $104, 25 per cent of which is $26. [More…]
I emphasise immediately - raised by S1.S0 and thereafter, every spring and every autumn, the basic pension rate will be raised by $1.50 until it reached 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
As to the pension rate reaching 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings, it has been pointed out already that with the present rate of inflation in this country and a twice yearly increase of $1.50, pension rates will never reach 25 per cent of average weekly earnings because the inflation rate would have to drop below 7i per cent per annum. [More…]
The people know its intentions in relation to pensioners and the average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The Government has said that its first move in that direction will be to increase pensions by $1.50 a week and that thereafter the base rates will be raised by a further $1.50 a week during each spring and autumn session of the Parliament until such time as the pension reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
All pensions will be immediately raised by $1.50 and thereafter, every Spring and every Autumn, the basic pension rate will be raised by $1.50 until it reaches 25 per cent of the average weekly, male earnings. [More…]
While the proposal to establish a nexus between pension rates and some external index has merit, it is questionable that the planned course of tying pensions to average weekly male earnings is the most effective way. [More…]
I want to observe, in passing, that average weekly male earnings have a tendency on occasions to be volatile and fluctuate relatively widely. [More…]
The Bill proposes 2 increases of $1.50 a year, making a total of $3, and the aim is to bring pensions up to one quarter of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
One is that the Government itself is the biggest employer of labour in Australia, and the second is that the Government is committed to achieving an age pension equivalent to 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
What I have been talking about must surely and inevitably and substantially increase average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The 18-year-old literates of Equador and the 18-year-old male Jordanians - but not Bedouins - can vote. [More…]
That figure certainly can be compared with male maturity at 23 years of age at the turn of the century. [More…]
The average age of female maturity is much lower than that. [More…]
The Government’s all-male Ministry and all-male Parliamentary Party has shown a degree of realism in relation to the women in the community that I did not expect. [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…]
Therefore the role of the male as provider must be changed. [More…]
I refer to the question as to whether male contraceptives will be exempted from sales tax. [More…]
I quote from an article in the ‘Australian’ of 1st February in which the Minister for Health (Dr Everingham) stated that he wanted to make clear that the Government did not intend to discriminate against buyers of male contraceptives. [More…]
I raise this matter not politically but to clear up confusion in the minds of some people as to whether sales tax will still apply to male contraceptives. [More…]
I wonder what will happen when they produce a male contraceptive pill. [More…]
The honourable member for Murray (Mr Lloyd) asked whether an exemption from sales tax would apply to male contraceptives. [More…]
The average weekly earnings in May 1971 for an adult male were $89.50. [More…]
The number of adult males earning $80 a week or less was 892,000 and the number earning $100 a week or less was 1.5 million. [More…]
That is, 1.5 million adult males in Australia were earning less than what it is possible for such a person and his family to draw in unemployment benefits. [More…]
I have a table which gives the figures from 1956-57 through to 1971-72 with movements in the consumer price index in one column and average weekly earnings per employed male unit and the percentage increase on the same period of the previous year. [More…]
In Sydney there is the Archibald Fountain which has not merely one but, to my memory, 3 naked male figures for everybody in the park - man, woman and child - to see. [More…]
Based on average weekly earnings per male unit for the December Quarter 1972 of $104, it would be necessary to increase the base rate of pension by $4.50 to $26 a week in order to raise that rate to 25 per cent of average weekly earnings. [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…]
I feel there should be no discrimination between the sexes as far as this concession is concerned and I ask the Government to extend the Bill’s provisions to include these male members. [More…]
The statistics also show that males tend to marry at an older age than females and that there is not a significant imbalance of the sexes in general. [More…]
It is also interesting, I think, as a male in a male assembly, to note that for every 105 males born there are 100 females born, but the death rate among males is much higher than among females. [More…]
In fact, by the time, males reach the age of 23 to 24 they still outnumber females though more of them die off. [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…]
I welcome the fact that as a result of this Bill loans will be available, to certain unmarried females who qualify under the Act as a result of their war service. [More…]
When I was Minister for Repatriation 1 received many requests from single females to move for an appropriate amendment to the Act. [More…]
1 will do all I can do to assist unmarried females who are qualified to benefit from this provision. [More…]
Nevertheless I consider that the Government having adopted this principle could have gone a step further and included single male members of the forces in this provision. [More…]
Another pleasing feature of the growth of social work is that more males are now taking the course. [More…]
This year at the University of Melbourne males comprise about 30 per cent of the total intake. [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…]
One of the problems of primary attention that is often pointed out today by educators is that there are not enough male teachers with whom students can identify. [More…]
The Health Insurance Planning Committee has recommended that the maximum annual contribution under the proposed universal health insurance scheme be fixed at the rate of levy (expressed as a percentage) times the average weekly earnings for employed male unit. [More…]
I warn this wholly male House that it is because we are males there is a great danger that we will ignore the needs and rights of women in this matter. [More…]
Laws are made by men, sanctioned by a male dominated church hierarchy and imposed largely by policemen, and yet we will never bear children ourselves. [More…]
They are not prepared to send male people into this Parliament- [More…]
Yes, male people, people like yourself, 1 assume, who come into this Parliament to put a purely male point of view. [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…]
No less than 85 per cent of the family homes to be built by State housing authorities with our advances will be allocated to families where the average gross weekly income of the main bread-winner - exclusive of any overtime and child endowment payments - does not exceed 85 per cent of average weekly earnings per employed male unit as defined in the Agreement. [More…]
The next segment of the program dealt with various women’s magazines with a heavy emphasis on sex and even with fold-out colour photographs, like femine ones in ‘Playboy’, of male models. [More…]
My Government has taken steps to ensure that the Government ‘Gazette’ shall not discriminate between sexes and that positions that are vacant shall be advertised without any reference being made or preference given to a male as against a female. [More…]
Provision is also made for benefits to be payable to widowers of serving and retired female members on the same basis as widows of serving and retired male members. [More…]
Ideally, these pavilions would include room for equipment and gear of a beach inspector with access to telephone and public address, a bunk room to accommodate 12 to 20 bunks and cooking facilities, a captain’s room, a secretary’s room, a committee room, female and male public dressing rooms with toilet facilities, a room for a ladies auxiliary, a locker room and internal showers for club use, an ambulance or casualty room, caretaker’s and members’ resident quarters, assembly room or hall with kitchen facilities, and a boat and gear room. [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…]
No less than 85 per cent of the family homes to be built by the State Housing Authorities with our advances will be allocated to families where the average gross weekly income of the main breadwinners will not exceed 85 per cent of average weekly earnings per employed male unit as defined in the agreement and, where the family includes 2 or more children, this will be increased by $2 a week for each child beyond the second. [More…]
It is interesting to note that the legislation provides that no fewer than 85 per cent of the family homes to be built by State housing authorities with Commonwealth funds will be allocated to families where the average gross weekly income of the main breadwinner does not exceed 85 per cent of the average weekly earnings per employed male unit. [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…]
It also provides for one week’s paternity leave for all male Commonwealth public servants. [More…]
This comment was the logical corollary of a party which remains an almost exclusive male preserve and which has taken a traditionally narrow view of the problems confronting women in Australian society. [More…]
The Women’s Bureau was established because of the significant increase in the size of the female work force in Australia. [More…]
Today we find that the male in the family unit is working a standard week of 40 hours and an average amount of overtime of 4.3 hours. [More…]
The then Chief Secretary of that State, Mr Evatt, issued a regulation stating that in a particular season only male kangaroos could be shot. [More…]
I recall the great difficulty of those who could obtain a licence to shoot kangaroos in discovering which were the males. [More…]
During the period 30 November 1972 to 31 March 1973, 1,426 male volunteer recruits were enlisted in the Australian Regular Army. [More…]
The Government has stated that it will increase basic pensions by $1.50 twice a year, making a $3 a year increase, until the pension reaches onequarter of the amount of average male weekly earnings. [More…]
If it proves necessary to increase the twice annual rate of increase in pensions which we are proposing to ensure that pensions do achieve 25 per cent of the average male weekly earnings within a reasonable time then that will be done. [More…]
All pensions will be immediately raised by $1.50 and thereafter every spring and every autumn the basic pension rate will be raised by $1.50 until it reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
So I do not believe that pensioners have achieved very much towards gaining their promised rate of 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings because the March increase in the minimum wage has not yet been fully felt in increased costs. [More…]
They can be an element but from the December quarter 1970 to 1972 adult male wages rose by over 21 per cent, average weekly earnings rose by over 22 per cent, the consumer price index increased by under 12 per cent and gross operating profits of companies increased by a fraction over 12 per cent. [More…]
It is only just about the same as the rise in the average rate of male earnings. [More…]
We were told at election time that the present Government was going to increase the pensions rapidly until they came to 25 per cent of average male weekly earnings. [More…]
I would ask honourable members to contrast what this Government has done - the generous rates of increase in pensions, both in money terms and percentage rates, against the indices set out in the table - with the record of the last Government which in the year ended June 1971, for instance, when the average weekly male earnings increased by over 13 per cent, increased married and standard rates of pensions by a mean and miserable 7.6 per cent and 6.7 per cent respectively. [More…]
The Government will go ahead with construction of an Australian Capital Territory remand centre to provide a modern alternative to the present unhappy arrangement bequeathed to us by the previous Government of holding ACT male prisoners in the Goulburn Gaol and of sending women prisoners to the Silverwater complex in Sydney. [More…]
At page 89 of this document we find that in 1963 average male earnings for the March quarter - I will stick to the March quarter because we have to have some guide - were $46.90. [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…]
It would take more gullibility than can possibly be attributed to any male to pretend that there is such a thing as a clean, simple, totally safe abortion. [More…]
If we can make the lot of women, children and families any easier and their lives any happier, surely even the most shortsighted and cynical male will be lucky enough to derive residual benefits from such a changed world. [More…]
I would like to see an amendment that guaranteed action would be taken to deter persons including the male parent from aiding and abetting illegal abortion. [More…]
The action required to deter persons, including the male parent, from aiding and abetting an abortion; [More…]
Far less does this proposal measure up to the pretensions of the present Government to bring pension rates quickly into line with 25 per cent of average male earnings. [More…]
We will raise the general standard of living of retired people in the community and we will not cease our work in this field until we have given every retired person in our society a guaranteed income of 25 per cent of the minimum male average weekly earnings. [More…]
All pensions will be immediately raised by $1.50 and thereafter each spring and every autumn the basic pension rate will be raised by $1.50 until it reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The facts of life are that if we take inflation figures which presently apply, it will be about 1990 before this 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings is actually reached. [More…]
I have with me a table, because I do not like to be accused ever of exaggerating, in which I have taken the average weekly earnings of males to increase by 7 per cent per annum. [More…]
In the first place the Bill confirms the Government’s intention to honour its election commitment to increase the standard rate pension twice a year by at least $1.50 a week on each occasion until a pension level equal to 25 per cent of the average weekly male earnings is achieved. [More…]
It will be seen from the table that has been incorporated that in 23 years of government the Liberal and Country parties, far from achieving a pension level of 25 per cent of the average weekly male earnings, never once reached a level so high as 22i per cent and in their last 6 years in office could never even manage a 20 per cent level. [More…]
Whilst I naturally support my Party’s program, I therefore cannot help feeling that, rather than committing ourselves to means test abolition within 3 years and to a 25 per cent average weekly male earnings level as soon as possible, the emphasis could perhaps have been better put the other way around. [More…]
At present these charge nurses are 5 male and 4 females. [More…]
But the Hospital Employees Union was aggrieved when a female employee of the Royal Australian Nursing Federation was appointed as a charge nurse. [More…]
As a matter of fact, in the same Aged Persons Homes Bill is another example of a requirement that a person has to be 65 if male or 60 if female to be eligible to be resident in a home covered by the Aged Persons Homes Act. [More…]
As I explained in this chamber during the Budget debate, a 10 per cent increase in a person’s salary, taking a base salary of $100 increasing to $110 - that is the average male earnings today - means that whilst his costs have- increased 10 per cent, what appears to be an increased return in his salary turns out to be not another $10 but only $6.40. [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 true that the number of resignations of male officers in the Australian Regular Army has increased in the first 9 months of this year compared with the figures for the corresponding period during previous years. [More…]
However, changes to Britain’s criminal law in 1885 introduced the new and specifically homosexual serious offences of ‘indecent acts’ and ‘indecent practices’ even when performed in private between consenting male adults. [More…]
It is estimated that one male in 20 is afflicted with homosexual tendencies. [More…]
In their book entitled ‘The Health of a Metropolis’ Krupinski and Stoller found that psychiatric morbidity was to be found among 12.8 per cent of children, 14.8 per cent of male adolescents, 13.5 per cent of female adolescents, 16.5 per cent of male adults and 23.8 per cent of female adults. [More…]
We find that 23.5 per cent of the students in those faculties are the sons and daughters of professionals or 4.25 times the ratio that their fathers bear to the male population in the specified age groups. [More…]
For example a case which came to my attention involves a male divorcee with 5 children aged from 9 to 15 years. [More…]
On the other hand a female divorcee earning the same amount - keep that in mind; earning the same amount per week - with the same number of children would be entitled to a pension of $44.45. [More…]
I know that I am speaking on the same subject as did the honourable member for Mackellar (Mr Wentworth) but I am quite happy to do that because I believe that there is one area still outstanding which is the single most serious area of social welfare injustice in Australia, and that is the single male parent with dependent children, the widower, the divorced or the deserted father. [More…]
When I asked the Parliamentary Library Research Service to provide some material on this question of the single male parent 1 was surprised at how little material is available. [More…]
The single male parent usually has a greater earning capacity than has the woman so the general benefit level cannot be applicable. [More…]
In spite of all the comments from various sources, to my mind these officers, both male and female, are genuine and hardworking. [More…]
When a male weevil and a female weevil get together in a silo there are millions of their progeny within a matter of weeks. [More…]
On the other hand his female co-worker is not eligible for a loan simply because of the terms of her enlistment. [More…]
For this work they received, I understand, two-thirds of the male wage, as well as having to suffer the indignity of having to wear blue calico bloomers and men’s giggle suits. [More…]
Female flight mechanics had great difficulty getting promotion until the end of the war. [More…]
Whereas male flight mechanics could do a course to get their stripes, female mechanics were not able to do a course until the end of the war so that they too could get their stripes. [More…]
This was to provide an immediate increase of $1.50 a week following the election, and thereafter $1.50 a week every spring and every autumn until the pension reached 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
I make this explanation against the background that I had only 4 male advisers on my -personal staff employed under Public Service conditions. [More…]
The remainder - mainly females - were on my personal staff in an administrative capacity. [More…]
Also there are facilities where male patients are given graduated work as part of a rehabilitation and retraining program. [More…]
Together with the anomaly relating to the single male parent, I think these are 2 basic weaknesses in our present social welfare cover. [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. [More…]
As from 1 January next, under legislation which we propose to introduce in the autumn session next year, it will be possible for Australian Government employees to receive an annual leave loading equivalent to average male weekly earnings in the September quarter prior to their taking their annual leave. [More…]
Between the December quarter 1972 and September quarter 1973 average weekly earnings per employed male unit increased by 11.8 per cent after allowance for seasonal influences. [More…]
The honourable member commended the Government on the removal of the discrimination between male and female employees. [More…]
But apparently at some period beyond formal education the habit is to discriminate between males and females. [More…]
As we have discovered in the operations of this House in more recent times, there is no reason why female reporters cannot carry out the duties which male reporters solely performed for many years. [More…]
In some areas, promotion for female officers is faster than for males. [More…]
Equal pay applies to males and females at the private or equivalent rank. [More…]
Female noncommissioned officers receive the male base rate and 80 per cent of the male rank margin. [More…]
Female officers receive 80 per cent of the male rates for equivalent rank. [More…]
For example, the achieving of the objective of raising pensions to 25 per cent of the average male weekly earnings is receding because of the vast costs involved due to inflation and the enormous demands on revenue. [More…]
Male officer resignations have grown alarmingly since Labor has been in power. [More…]
This means that a person on an adjusted income of $4,545 per annum or $87.40 a week, which is very much below the average weekly male earnings, receives a Commonwealth secondary scholarship of the magnificent sum of $15 per annum. [More…]
I make a suggestion to the pensions of Australia who are far from happy with the deal that they are presently receiving in view of the fact that the Government promised to increase the rate of pension to 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
It puts paternity leave for male public servants before defence; it puts the painting ‘Blue Poles’ before country telephones. [More…]
How far wrong could he be, because the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) in his 1972 policy speech promised that he would raise pensions by $1.50 twice a year until such time as the single rate pension reached 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
For my constituents it has resulted in increasing prosperity in 1972 and 1973, as instanced by an average weekly male earning of $99 per week for 1972-73. [More…]
Now, because of increasing costs and the fact that the Government has not lived up to its preelection promise to make social security benefits equal to 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings, these people find it impossible to make ends meet. [More…]
4) on 11 September 1973 I said that the Australian Government was determined to achieve its goal of a standard rate pension of 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings and, if necessary, the pension increase for the autumn session would be greater than $1.50 per week. [More…]
The new standard rate of pension will be 22.57 per cent of average weekly male earnings, seasonally adjusted for the December quarter 1973, of $115.20 a week. [More…]
I am talking about a male and a female in a de facto relationship. [More…]
In conclusion, I respond to the taunt of the Minister for Social Security to my Party about its attitude to the Labor Party’s claim for pensions to rise to 25 per cent of the average weekly male earnings seasonally adjusted. [More…]
No one denies that there has been inflation; but the fact of the matter is that pensions languished between 18 per cent and 19 per cent of average weekly male earnings under consecutive Liberal-Country Party governments, whereas pensions are now 22.6 per cent of such earnings. [More…]
The same is true of average male weekly earnings. [More…]
Let us take the other measure that the Government uses - the standard rate of pension as a percentage of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
But, again, the average weekly male earnings should be related to the mid-point of the quarter. [More…]
When one does this one comes up with these results: On 15 November 1972 the pension had a real value of 20 per cent of average weekly male . [More…]
We have proceeded more than half way towards our objective of raising the pension rate to 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The honourable member for Indi compared the present situation where repatriation benefit rates are to be tied to 50 per cent of the minimum wage with general social service benefits which are tied to average male weekly earnings. [More…]
Why is it that social service benefits are tied to or are based on average weekly male earnings? [More…]
The Government has been most vocal on its decision to tie such benefits to average male weekly earnings but with repatriation benefits that procedure is disregarded and such benefits are tied to a minimum wage. [More…]
Table A below sets out the percentage changes in the Commonwealth Statistician’s series on average minimum wage rates for adult males and on average weekly earnings per employed male unit. [More…]
Consultation with employees and employers will be necessary to achieve flexibility in working hours and conditions that are geared almost exclusively to a male life style. [More…]
Also we would work for the abolition of unnecessary male and female categories of work in legislation and industrial awards. [More…]
The changes in pay structure followed the adoption of the recommendations of the Committee of Inquiry into the Financial Terms and Conditions for Male and Female Members of the Regular Armed Forces. [More…]
I understand that since the end of 1973 the number of permanent male members of the Army to May 1974 fell by almost 600 to 28,800 servicemen. [More…]
At present about one-third of the work force are women and the female component of the work force is growing at about twice the male rate. [More…]
What is more, the composition of the female component of the work force is changing. [More…]
In 1954, 30 to 35 per cent of female workers were married. [More…]
One of the arguments put forward by the employer opponents of equal pay in the 1969 equal pay case was, by implication, that equal pay should not be granted because it would jeopardise the status of the male in the family unit. [More…]
If the basis of the status of a man is that he can earn a higher income than his wife when this situation is maintained by the artificial and unjust construction of lower rates of pay for females it does not say much for the man as a person. [More…]
This is no reflection on the women; it is a reflection on the society which has kept them captive in a 13-square prison to minister to the every need of their male masters. [More…]
As honourable members know the Government is committed to increasing pensions twice annually until the standard rate of pension reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The new standard rate established by this Bill will be 26 per cent of seasonally adjusted average weekly male earnings for the March quarter 1974, the latest quarter for which figures are available. [More…]
It will be almost 25 per cent of the estimated average weekly male earnings seasonally adjusted for the June quarter of 1974. [More…]
In the interim report of the Australian Government’s Commission of Enquiry into Poverty, Professor Henderson proposed that, for the Budget of 1974, the standard rate of pension should be $27 a week, increased by rises in average weekly male earnings since August 1973. [More…]
On the basis of estimated average weekly male earnings for the June quarter 1974 this would justify an increase in the standard rate of pension of approximately $4.90 over the present weekly rate of $26. [More…]
The new standard rate established by this Bill will be 26 per cent of seasonally adjusted average weekly male earnings for the March quarter 1974, the latest quarter for which figures are available. [More…]
It will be almost 25 per cent of the estimated average weekly male earnings seasonally adjusted for the June quarter of 1974. [More…]
I draw the attention of the honourable member for Hotham, who is no longer in the chamber, to a statement by the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) that this Government stands firm by its commitment to increase pensions twice a year until they reach 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
He wants to tie the pension to 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The pension will be almost 25 per cent of the estimated average male weekly earnings, seasonally adjusted, for the June quarter 1974. [More…]
What he does not tell the House is that the figure for the June quarter actually relates to the middle of the June quarter so, he is talking about average weekly male earnings which applied somewhere about the middle of May, and now it is towards the end of July. [More…]
It did not mean much when prices and average weekly male earnings were relatively stable but it means a lot now. [More…]
The first one is the very difficult, if not impossible, budgetary task of abolishing the means test, keeping pensions at 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings and also increasing supplementary benefits, dependent children allowances, etc., to compensate for inflation. [More…]
When we took over the pension was worth 20 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
What is the structure of unemployment in socioeconomicdemographic terms for males and females in country as opposed to metropolitan employment districts, e.g. [More…]
migrant, above 50 year old male labourers, Aborigines, skilled, unskilled, female office employees, graduates, etc. [More…]
The textile industry is the most decentralised industry in this country and together with the clothing industry, which also has been seriously affected, employs approximately 200,000 employees, both male and female. [More…]
I want to say further that even though this was a known fact, established and not denied, I did not at any time- and I would hate to think that he felt that I did- reflect on the integrity of the divisional returning officer for Lilley or, for that matter, any person male or female who worked in that office. [More…]
What satisfaction was there for the Liberal-Country parties to find out in the breakdown of figures that every second single aged male was poor, that every second single aged female was poor and that one in every three aged couples was poor ? [More…]
Given that nearly 70 per cent of adult full time male wage earners in the Australian work force earn much less than average weekly earnings and that an actual income of $6,000 a year is above average weekly earnings, we are excluding the great bulk of people in the community. [More…]
However, the following table sets out the lowest rates of medical and hospital contributions charged by the major fund as a percentage of the Federal adult male basic wage and, later, the Federal adult male minimum weekly wage in New South Wales. [More…]
Therefore hospital fund contribution rates remained unchanged and when expressed as percentages of Federal adult male minimum wage levels, they declined between June, 1972 and August 1974 due to hospital fund contribution rates having remained unchanged during that period. [More…]
Under the NEAT system, as it is, called, trainees will receive an amount based1 on the average adult male weekly award wage, and adjusted quarterly. [More…]
Promotions Appeal Committees revealed that over an eight week period there were seven female and 102 male staff association nominees on Committees. [More…]
The second was that the rate of the pension would be raised to one quarter of the average weekly male earning. [More…]
When the Government came into office the pension was equivalent to one fifth of the average weekly male earning. [More…]
I can never understand why under repatriation measures we refer to a percentage of the minimum rate whereas, when it comes to social security matters, we talk of a percentage of average male earnings. [More…]
I am not sure whether this is to confuse but as I see the average male earnings rising and, no doubt, the minimum wage rising I wonder how long it will be before the 100 per cent rate repatriation pension reaches 50 per cent of the minimum wage. [More…]
The only way this pension could be re-introduced was for the male party to go to Melbourne. [More…]
What would happen in the situation in which both spouses in a family are earning an income and whose combined income is less than, say, the income of the family next door in which only the male head of the family is earning income? [More…]
This Government was responsible for the introduction of the rehabilitation training allowance, adjusted quarterly, and equivalent to the average male weekly award rate which is currently $93.44 a week. [More…]
The average adult male award wage has just been published by the Australian Government Statistician as $93.44. [More…]
That basis involves estimating the increase in employment during the year, converting that increase to a male-unit basis, and making an assumption about the increase in average weekly earnings per employed male unit (22.5 per cent for 1974-75). [More…]
The failure of your Government to grant female teachers confinement leave on full pay and male teachers similar provisions to enable them to properly care for their family during the absence of the mother while awaiting and following the birth of an additional child. [More…]
In stating whether a teacher is male or female, he writes ‘M’ or ‘F The next question is: ‘Age in years’. [More…]
The male breadwinner can have the same sort of job in each family, but one man may take all the overtime he can get and may be away from his family for several additional hours. [More…]
The banks will endeavour to use their allocation under the Act so as to achieve as high a proportion as practicable of their total housing loan approvals under this scheme to persons earning less than $ 1 50 a week, and will continue not to make any distinction between male and female applicants in the approval of housing loans. [More…]
The number of dairy farm managers, both male and female, has declined by about 30 per cent while the number of employees on dairy farms has declined by more than 60 per cent. [More…]
Let us look at the ratio of male other ranks servicemen to male officers. [More…]
Under the South Australian act male officers are permitted to continue temporary employment in special circumstances until the age of 70 years, whereas female officers must retire at 65. [More…]
Under the Tasmanian Act female officers are required to retire at 60 whereas male officers are not required to retire until 65. [More…]
The South Australian Government amended the Public Service Act earlier this year to provide a common retirement age of 65 years for male and female officers and is now amending the act to provide similar age provisions relating to temporary employment of over age male and female officers. [More…]
The Tasmanian Government has decided to amend the Public Service Act to permit female officers to retire at 65 if they so desire but not yet to remove the restriction on the employment of married women. [More…]
-Before speaking to the Nursing Homes Assistance Bill and the Homeless Persons Assistance Bill I tell the honourable member for Hotham (Mr Chipp) that I do not consider him a male chauvinist but I think I know the reason why there are more homeless men than women. [More…]
Briefly, their view is that old Darwin was basically a city which was bent to the male population. [More…]
The legal supremacy of the male and the entrenched legal inferiority of the female are removed without removing the commitment of one party to honour obligations of maintenance towards the other or towards children where the courts’ deem this to be appropriate. [More…]
It seems to me that the only way in which one can go further than that is to accept the proposition that the female of the species should in all circumstances be dependent upon the male. [More…]
It also seems to me to be an acceptance of the proposition that the role of the female is to be nothing more than an apendage of the male of the species. [More…]
Apart from that, of course, we have to consider the rights of males. [More…]
On the question of costs, I have been rather surprised by the representations that have been made to me about the unjust treatment of the female- perhaps the male also, for that matterwho can be called upon to pay costs in an action that is brought for dissolution of marriage against her consent. [More…]
Australian society’s views of marriage and practice, notwithstanding the present trend towards equality of male and female roles, is I believe that the husband financially in the generality of cases supports his wife, while the wife supports her husband in the home environment, particularly during the childbearing years. [More…]
Furthermore, a married man who has a working wife has to tell his employer how much his wife is earning in another job which is not at all connected with the male spouse’s employment. [More…]
A child is conceived and, not on account of it but coincident in time with it, the male partner to the marriage says: ‘I want to be separated’. [More…]
I believe that this Bill does not give the dependent partner in a marriage, whether a male or female- most often a female- sufficient guarantees. [More…]
It shows that in the skilled building and construction area 14 068 male people were registered as unemployed at the end of January 1975, as against 4 331 in January 1974, 5 251 in January 1973 and 5 158 in January 1972. [More…]
That means that the male partner to the marriage can live for 12 months with his fancy girl friend and during that time he can even have his washing done by his wife, because the Bill states that there are certain domestic services which the parties can provide one to the other or to each other. [More…]
Furthermore, I see no reason why the Government should not arrange for the banks, which it has power to do, to take family income into account when granting loans rather than male income only, which is the system under which banks and financial institutions operate at the moment. [More…]
According to the most recent figures that have been made available to us there has been an increase to $ 1 54 in average male weekly earnings. [More…]
When one looks at the figures one realises that there has been a 28 per cent increase in average male weekly earnings but that the increase in productivity so far this year has been nil. [More…]
This could mean that the male partner of a childless marriage has no obligation to sustain his wife if she does not wish to work. [More…]
I still believe in the principle that we are a civilised country, and we in the male section of the community certainly respect the female section. [More…]
I appreciate that lawn bowls clubs in Australia have a large male and female membership and that in some States the opportunities to participate in the playing of lawn bowls are far greater than those in other States. [More…]
and (2) The weekly family contribution rates of the New South Wales Branch of the Medical Benefits Fund of Australia, on the relevant dates, are shown below together with details of average weekly earnings per employed male unit in New South Wales for the quarters ended June, September and December 1974. [More…]
Why should the husband, the father, the male, be excluded from the same sorts of considerations? [More…]
Those who have experience in counselling in these situations know that very often the male is the one left with the children, accumulated debts and all sort of problems. [More…]
It is curious that in the House of Representatives, where there is only one woman member, it falls to the lot of most male members of the House to protect women’s rights against the wishes of many women’s organisations. [More…]
There would not be a member of this House- I will include the senators, though some of them are a little aged for that sort of caper- who would not admit that it is the male in any company who is likely to start playing around a little. [More…]
Although we have not quite reached our objective of a standard rate pension of 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings, it is still a record proportion. [More…]
The consumer price index rose by 3 1 .6 per cent; average weekly earnings rose by 46.8 per cent; male minimum award rates rose by 53 per cent; and female minimum award rates rose by 75 per cent. [More…]
I want to examine this matter because there are 4 male members of my staff. [More…]
I come to the other 2 male members, first of all Mr Derek Woolner who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Sydney University. [More…]
He makes the point proudly that the increase brings the pension up to 24.5 per cent of male average weekly earnings, seasonally adjusted. [More…]
But I wish he would tell the full story because as of today, 13 May, when the $5 has not yet been paid to pensioners, the pension which pensioners are now receiving is 21.1 per cent of male average weekly earnings, seasonally adjusted. [More…]
They know full well under this present Government that their pensions will be adjusted twice annually to try to maintain the pension level at 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
I often wonder why the honourable member for Hotham so vigorously denies that he is a male chauvinist. [More…]
Maybe it is because he is a male chauvinist. [More…]
Will pensioners actually be any better 00 The Minister stated in his second reading speech that the basic pension of $36 per week will represent 24.5 per cent of average weekly male earnings in the December quarter. [More…]
As the honourable member for Hotham quickly and correctly pointed out, as at the commencement date for the payment of the new rates in May, the pension as a percentage of average weekly male earnings has been reduced to 21.1 per cent. [More…]
What percentage of average weekly male earnings will the basic penison be in October when inflation is roaring on in this country at the present rate? [More…]
The table indicates the increases in pensions over the years, firstly in relation to average weekly earnings per male unit employed and secondly in relation to the consumer price index. [More…]
So, it is said immediately that the contract or undertaking of the Government to make that pension payment equivalent to a quarter or 25 per cent of average male weekly earnings has been met. [More…]
During the period of time for which the payment of this $36 a week will operate- it will operate up until late September or October- it will not be worth 25 per cent or a quarter of average male weekly earnings; it will be worth something like 2 1.5 per cent of average male weekly earnings, which is a very significant difference. [More…]
I say this, believing that there would be little chance of contradiction: At the time at which this Government will go to an election the pension payable will not be equivalent to 25 per cent of the then average male weekly earnings. [More…]
-Despite its imperfections, this Bill which seeks to establish a Children’s Commission is a genuine attempt to overcome one of the major social problems arising from a technologically advanced consumer society which claims a high standard of living, therefore requiring a large percentage of its work force, both male and female, to participate fully in the production of the goods and services required by the community. [More…]
Where at the date of adjustment, the award rate of an employee was not more than the figure for the seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings per employed male unit most recently published by the Australian Government Statistician- [More…]
Where, at the date of adjustment, the award rate for any employee was more than the figure for the seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings per employed male unit most recently published by the Australian Government Statistician- [More…]
What are these rates for (a) single male, 18-20 years old, (b) single adult male, (c) married male and (d) married male with two children. [More…]
Under the Brisbane City Council Municipal Officers Award, in March 1973 the salary of a male clerk, first year, was $3,632 per annum and by July 1974 it had risen to $6,384 per annum- an increase of 76 per cent. [More…]
In 1973-74, 47 per cent of the loans it insured were made to people whose incomes were equivalent to or less than average weekly male earnings. [More…]
There are some brave and magnificent souls, both male and female, who are minded to see things through to the very utmost, but then something happens and the woman says: ‘I can stand this no longer. [More…]
She went on as a second point about the little spoken-of subject of male menopause. [More…]
If honourable members want to have legislation which absolves any male from any responsibilityfor his own actions and for the woman he marries- I say again that that is not the sort of legislation that ought to be passed by this House- they should agree to this clause being passed as it stands for that is what it seeks to do. [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 best off are the male non-manual employees in the Government work force, 4 out of 5 of whom are covered by 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…]
In Victoria it is 9 per cent of salary; in Queensland 6.5 per cent of a male’s salary; in South Australia 6 per cent of salary and in Tasmania 5.5 per cent of salary. [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…]
We recognise the presence of problems with young house-bound mothers, with a lack of family activity and with the lowering age of death among our male population through heart disease- in many cases the result of overweight and stress. [More…]
The Association has only 4 male administrators and 10 female office assistants. [More…]
To inquire into and report upon the family, social, educational, legal and sexual aspects of male and female relationships, so far as those matters are relevant to the powers and functions of the Australian Parliament and Government, including powers and functions in relation to the Territories: [More…]
the extent of relevant existing eduction programs, including sex education programs, and their effectiveness in promoting responsible sexual behaviour and providing a sound basis in the fundamentals of male and female relationships in the Australian social environment; [More…]
the adequacy and effectiveness of existing medicolegal determinations in relation to termination, of pregnancy, the incidence of such terminations, the factors influencing their occurrence, the adequacy of medical training in an evaluation of methods of termination, consultative rights of the family or other persons concerned and the adequacy and effectiveness of pregnancy support services; and (f) any other matters in relation to the family, social, educational, legal and sexual aspects of male and female relationships to which the attention of the Commission is directed by the Prime Minister in the course of the inquiry. [More…]
and (2) The Australian Bureau of Statistics publication ‘Chronic Illness, Injuries and Impairments, May 1 974 (Preliminary Statement)’ shows the incidence of rheumatoid and allied conditions to be 1 male and 3 females per 1000 population and of osteoarthritis 4 males and 5 females per 1000 population in Australia. [More…]
It also estimates that approximately 9800 males and 10 700 females suffer from other unspecified rheumatic conditions. [More…]
The Opposition will not oppose the legislation because, as the Minister has pointed out, the cost to the patient for a prescription fee will be approximately the same as it was in 1971 when it was last increased by the previous Government; that is to say the prescription fee or charge of $1.50 will approximate one per cent of average male weekly earnings now as it did at that time. [More…]
The greatest reductions will be in the average male earnings income range which is about $150 a week at the present stage. [More…]
The basis of allocating pensions has been changed from a system of basing them on average male weekly earnings to basing them on the consumer price index which is a lower figure. [More…]
He said that age pensions would never be allowed to fall below the level of 25 per cent of average male weekly earnings. [More…]
Of course, now they have no hope because the Government is not even sticking to its promise in regard to keeping pensions at that level of average male weekly earnings. [More…]
Nearly 70 per cent of adult male earners receive average weekly earnings or less. [More…]
Yet during that 2-year period until March 1975, average weekly male earnings rose by 47.7 per cent. [More…]
Honourable members opposite seem to have a great liking for citing the figures in relation to average male weekly earnings. [More…]
According to the Government’s own survey conducted in September last year, 79 per cent of male householders buying their first home have an income of less than $8,000. [More…]
An internal toilet for male teachers was scheduled for construction. [More…]
Under our Government the pension will never be allowed to fall below the level of 25 per cent of male average weekly earnings. [More…]
To that extent I was rather attracted to a consumer affairs document from New York which talked of the male cosmetics market that now exists in that country. [More…]
The male cosmetic consumer is surfacing. [More…]
Honourable members will know it is the Government’s objective to lift progressively the standard of living of pensioners by raising the standard rate of pension twice a year until it reaches 25 per cent of seasonally adjusted average weekly male earnings. [More…]
The proposed standard rate of pension is $38.75 a week, which is equivalent to 25.2 per cent of average weekly male earnings for the June quarter in 1975, the latest quarter for which figures are available. [More…]
Compared with this, over the period from June 1 972 to June 1 975 the consumer price index increased by only 45 per cent and seasonally adjusted average weekly male earnings increased by only 61 per cent. [More…]
The House will be aware of the report cited in the Jakarta newspaper Kompas of 20 October that advancing Democratic Union of Timor- UDT- and Apodeti forces had come across the remains of 4 male Europeans in the Balibo area. [More…]
I think the second reading speech of the Minister for Tourism and Recreation and Minister assisting the Minister for Social Security claims that the standard pension has reached 25.2 per cent of average weekly male earnings, but the Minister did not say that that is based upon figures for the June 1975 quarter. [More…]
The point I am making is that the Government promised 25 per cent of average male weekly earnings. [More…]
All pensions will be immediately raised by $1.30 and thereafter, every Spring and every Autumn, the basic pension rate will be raised by $1.50 until it reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
But in any case this argument about the 25 per cent of average weekly earnings becomes fallacious because the average weekly earnings are defined as the seasonlly adjusted average weekly male earnings for Australia. [More…]
The average male in the community was not getting $ 1 52 a week but was getting only $146 odd in New South Wales. [More…]
This is quite apart from the fact that the figures are corrected for average weekly male earnings. [More…]
Whilst in theory male and female earnings in Australia are now equal, there is still a significant difference between average weekly male earnings and average weekly female earnings. [More…]
Of course the vast majority of aged pensioners are females. [More…]
By comparison, in the period from June 1972 to June 1975 the CPI, as I said earlier, has increased by only 44.7 per cent and the seasonally adjusted average weekly male earnings have increased by only 61 percent. [More…]
All pensions will be immediately raised by $ 1 .50 and thereafter until it reaches 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings. [More…]
As the honourable member for Hotham (Mr Chipp), our shadow Minister for social security so adequately put it yesterday in the debate on the Social Services Bill, the Government has changed its course from aiming to provide as a base for pensions 25 per cent of average weekly male earnings to providing increases tied to percentage increases in the consumer price index. [More…]
I do not think that an Aboriginal would consider another Aboriginal, especially male, an adult at the age of 1 8 years. [More…]
On inflation, I expected a modest increase in the rate of price and wage inflation in 1976, with male award wages and earnings increasing by about 20 per cent and the consumer price index increasing by perhaps 15 per cent. [More…]
Before I depart from the scenario of agriculture in the division of Calare I wish to make one point to this all male House. [More…]
The new allowances comprise a basic allowance equal to the rate of unemployment benefit for such a person, or whatever other benefit he or she qualifies for, plus a training component of $23.40 which is calculated on the basis of 20 per cent of the average male award rate. [More…]
In view of what is now happening, it is extraordinarily interesting to note that the Committee decided nevertheless to reject the welfare approach and did so on the advice of then Department of Labor, which Department recommended not only abandonment of the welfare approach but also that the allowance be based on the average adult male award wage. [More…]
When the former Government approved the introduction of its national employment and training scheme it accepted that the full time training allowance should be equal to the average adult male award wage. [More…]
But in addition to the unemployment benefit to which the individual is entitled, a training component equal to 20 per cent of the average male award wage is also payable. [More…]
the full-time training allowance for all adult trainees be equal to the average adult male award wage derived quarterly from the Australian Government Statistician’s series “Adult Males- weighted average for Australia of the minimum weekly rates for a full week’s work, excluding overtime, as prescribed in awards, determinations and collective agreements”; and adjusted in the first pay period following the publication of the series for the December, March, June and September quarters; (in December 1973 this was $76.28); [More…]
In the same period the minimum adult wage index has increased by 90.8 per cent and the average male weekly earnings have increased by 73.8 per cent. [More…]
Furthermore, it should be noted that: In February 1972, about 30 per cent of unemployed registered with the Commonwealth Employment Service received unemployment benefit, and this had increased to 70 per cent in February 1976; about 70 per cent of male recipients at the latest analysis last year were unmarried; some two-fifths were under 21 years; and three-quarters of them had been on benefit for more than one month. [More…]
I suggest for the consideration of various Ministers in the negotiation of any new agreement that they give special consideration to the position of a person who is eligible to obtain a rental home through the Housing Commission because he is in receipt of 85 per cent or less of the average weekly earnings per male unit employed- at present in Queensland this is $135 for a man, his wife and 2 childrenbut who is not allowed to purchase his home because his income has climbed above this figure. [More…]
The Australian earning figures are ‘average weekly earnings per employed male unit’. [More…]
About 70 per cent of male recipients at the latest analysis last year were unmarried. [More…]
At the time of the minimum wage case in 1973, when the minimum wage was increased to $60 the going rate in some awards for an adult male was $47. [More…]
It would not have been reasonable to say to a person who was out of work: ‘You have to take a job as a carriage cleaner for $47 a week’, when the minimum wage was $60 although the award rate for an adult male carriage cleaner was only $47. [More…]
Much more importantly, however, I question the effect it may have on the security of our male Public Service population. [More…]
May this provision not simply be encouraging the development of a race of female Bluebeards in our midst? [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…]
For instance, in 1933, 28 per cent of the male work force was employed in the rural sector. [More…]
I was asking that the minimum wage for adult males be extended to adult females; I was asking that wage indexation on the minimum wage be introduced and later on the average weekly earnings; I was asking for an increase in the minimum wage; and Treasury was opposing the concept of extending the adult male minimum wage to adult females. [More…]
It will be another arena of negotiations, another arena of wage claims which will not be dealt with or which will not be overcome by what the Government sees as some partial success in having people above the average male adult wage, which has been indexed by the full 3 per cent, brought into line. [More…]
These people have accepted what the trade unions now say, which is that those receiving between the adult male rate of $125 a week and average weekly earnings have taken a drop in their real wage. [More…]
The maximum number that can be catered for under the scheme is 42 000 all of whom are male school students. [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…]
They stress that their organisations cater for hundreds of thousands of young people from all sections of the community, not a mere 42 000 young males who attend our more affluent private schools. [More…]
In all 42 000 young male students will be covered, and a large proportion of those will come from our more affluent private schools. [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…]
However as only one male was recorded in Sydney the establishment of this species there is not confirmed. [More…]
On the other hand, in Adelaide both male and female spiders have been recorded. [More…]
He made Federal Hansard history by appointing women as reporters in what had been for 70 years an exclusively male preserve. [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…]
The latter must have broken down one of the last male bastions in employed positions. [More…]
How many (a) male and (b) female tertiary students were receiving NEAT allowances at 1 March 1976. [More…]
How pitiful it was when the jilted male or the jilted female set out to seek some financial redress because a prospective partner had decided not to go ahead with a marriage. [More…]
In the 5 years from 1971 to 1976-the period to June 1973 can largely be identified with the present Government in its then period of office from 1971 to 1972- male employment, which is the major part of total employment in Australia, rose from 2 924 000 to 2 940 000-an increase of about 16 000 or something like 2 per cent. [More…]
But in the first year of the ‘terrible Labor Government’- that is, from 1973 to 1974- total male employment increased from 2 985 000 to 3 068 000-a rise of 83 000, or more in that single year than for the 2 previous years put together. [More…]
Government employment in the 5 years from 1971 to 1976 increased by something like 18 per cent whereas total male employment in the private sector of the economy increased by only 3Vi per cent over that period. [More…]
We still claim that the basic work unit in the community is the married male. [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…]
I suppose that one could say that the principal purpose of the Bill is to omit from the principal Act in the definition of an eligible person the word ‘male ‘ and to add the following paragraph: a former member of the Royal Australian Air Force Nursing Service or of the Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force - and leave the matter at that. [More…]
It was not confined to the average male rate in the metal trades or to average weekly earnings generally. [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…]

In the 2 years to the December quarter 1974, real male award wage rates rose by the staggering figure of 1 6 per cent Bearing in mind that the long-term annual average is approximately 3 per cent, it is evident that the equivalent of a little over 5 years normal growth in real award wage rates was crammed into two. [More…]
Honourable members opposite know that the Williams Committee suggested that these allowances be indexed at least twice every year and that they be virtually related to average male weekly earnings, and that has not been done. [More…]
Females were 32 per cent of total enrolments over the 3 sectors in 1974. [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…]

La Trobe have achieved a unique event with the recent birth of identical male quadruplets? [More…]
The birth of quadruplets is very unusual, but this event was made even more unusual by the fact that the quadruplets are identical male babies. [More…]
I am told that the statistical chance of quadruplets being born is something like one in every half million births, but the chance of identical male quadruplets is at even longer odds. [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.
