'Once they see your grey hair, that's it': How the federal budget ignored women

Women, particularly those aged over 35, were big losers in the federal budget, which labour market experts said had bypassed the childcare needs of women wanting to return to the workforce.

"Not doing anything to address childcare and provide more resources for that was very disappointing," Professor Holden said.University of Sydney professor of gender and employment relations Marian Baird said it would be difficult to attract and retain more women into apprenticeships. "Older workers are less likely to lose their job but, when they do lose it, it is much harder for them to find a job," he said. "Many employers think you are done by 50."

"Being old and being female, people don't want to know you," she said. "Once you walk in the door and they see your grey hair, that's it.Fiona Ninnes, 61, from the Southern Highlands said there was nothing in the federal budget for older women.

AnnaPattySMH See, that's what happens when the government gets it's ideas from Homer Simpson

AnnaPattySMH So you want the taxpayer to bail out every age group and demographic at any cost. Because youre happy in your job in media to have your tax $ spent at largesse ? (That will hurt the younger generation as they mature ) ?

AnnaPattySMH It will be great for women when they don't seek special treatment at budget time. Women receive the same tax cuts as men. Childcare is already heavily subsidised.

AnnaPattySMH Well these women should rise up and stand for MP under a new party, they have the numbers.

AnnaPattySMH This so called jobs stimulus will be a total failure, it will lead from a COVID recession to a ScoMo depression. It falls to provide real jobs, business will take profits & taxpayers will pay off debt. A conservative path leading to an Abis. The same old, same old from the LNP.

AnnaPattySMH Many Australians left behind in the budget, always the case I guess?

AnnaPattySMH They shouldn’t feel too hard done by. Everyone is a loser with this budget........

AnnaPattySMH That is spot on, so say crediblewomen

AnnaPattySMH They live for the bitter hiss, the victimhood

AnnaPattySMH 'There is a perception that older people — older workers in general — are not as physically able, or technically able to adapt to change and our research shows that this is not the case,' she said.

AnnaPattySMH Boy we all have to stop believing this narrative that the libs give a fuck about anyone but themselves and their rich friends.

AnnaPattySMH Why does this Federal Govt hate women? Is this still about Tony Abbott?
