Journalist Georgina Dent says women don’t benefit “nearly as much as men do” from the budget measures revealed on Tuesday by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.

“All of the early indicators are that men are disproportionately advantaged by all of the general budget measures, which is a function of the fact that men and women are certainly not on equal footing, certainly when it comes to employment and financial security,” she said. “We know that women don’t earn as much as men do.

” Ms Dent said there were many reasons women earn less than men, a number of which were structural. One example was Australia’s lack of adequate investments in early education and care, she said. “When a country has got a really universally accessible high-quality early education and care, they have much more women participating more in the economy, and that means those women will earn more,” she said.

Boycott propaganda and demand that governments and media outlets tellthetruth about the climate and ecological emergency

Dent should take a look at the make suicide rate which I note is 100% worse than female cohort. Feminazi idiot.

Stop your bitching. Women get a whole lot more support than men. Stop using the bloody gender card all the time when you can’t get what you want or it doesn’t go the way you want it. If you want something go and earn it.

'Our budget plan will see Australia a stronger nation': Treasurer | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg has reaffirmed the 2020-2021 budget will prioritise Australian jobs as he delivered a speech at a press conference ahead of tonight's budget reveal. \n\nHe touted the Morrison government’s “unprecedented” amount of support for Australians during the coronavirus crisis. \n\nThe treasurer is expected to hand down a record-spending budget in response to the devastating economic impact of the pandemic. \n\n'Our plan will create opportunity. Our plan will drive investment. Our plan will grow the economy and guarantee the essential services Australians rely on,” Mr Frydenberg said. \n\n“Our plan will see Australia a stronger nation”. \n\nMr Frydenberg highlighted the nation’s slow recovery in past recessions saying 'unemployment goes up the elevator and comes down the stairs'. \n\n“We want to move faster than that.” \n\n What jobs? You’ve omitted “casual” before “jobs”. Needs to be entrepreneurs to get funds for start up business and also industry to create jobs. But banks would rather say no to entrepreneurs with ideas and rather ask how much equity do you have in your home.
