2010 News Updates
and diary dates
The Federal and the state of Victoria will be going
to the polls this year. How exciting, its our year
to consider carefully who we vote for. There are senate
seats up for grabs, we need to be mindful of who we
vote for in the senate. At present the Liberals are
saying Labor is doing nothing however is may be a
misnomer as the senate is blocking allot of bills
which is 32/32 Labor/Liberal a few independant and
Australian Greens.
I have done a bit of a scoot around to see how women
are fairing. Its not looking good. Our income is half
of men's over a lifetime and currently women make
up more than 70% of the part-time workforce.
Employment is going up however the ABS monitors this
from a very low base of 1 hour per week. Watch this
space as I will endeavour to keep upto date on the
issues as they come to hand.
