I believe a woman should cost the employer the same as a man doing the same job. That includes time off for monthly stomach cramps and maternity leave and the money wasted on training when they decide to become a stay at home mother, which they should have been doing from the start anyway.

Good to see them admitting they're wrong.... For once..... Instead of rewriting history. You were right about tif12 though. It's subtle, but he always does it. Just clever enough to make it look like he's just sharing an opinion, but he isn't.
He banned me years ago in the replica thread over some smartarse remark I made He sent me a photo for Scott's 50th birthday but it was poor quality so I didn't get it done for the old bugger There are some thin-skinned dudes in the F1 section so you have to watch what you say , and you know how politically correct I am
Well, at least you didn't get banned for nothing...they just misunderstood the tone of your post. In my case, they rewrote history to justify their actions. Oh well, it's saving me money, so that's a positive.
Gawd A humble Melbourne cafe that asks its male customers to pay an 18 per cent "gender surcharge" has found itself in the eye of a social media storm. Handsome Her in Melbourne's inner suburb of Brunswick markets itself as a cafe "by women, for women". As part of its three "House Rules", the cafe stipulates women have priority seating, men will be charged an 18 per cent premium "to reflect the gender pay gap [2016] which is donated to a women's service". The third rule states "respect goes both ways". Pictures of the sign were shared on social media where the cafe's business concept was debated — is this clever corporate social responsibility, or male discrimination? To be clear, the surcharge is optional and only applies one in every four weeks. What's more, the money raised by the surcharge is donated to Elizabeth Morgan House, Victoria's peak body for Aboriginal women's services. The 18 per cent surcharge figure comes from a 2016 report from Australia's Workplace Gender Equality Agency that placed the average full-time base salary pay gap at 17.7 per cent, resulting in a difference in salary of up to $27,000. The report also found that the more women there were in executive leadership roles, the lower the gender pay gap was in the organisation. "Organisations with the lowest share of female executive leaders have an average gender pay gap double the size of those with an equal share of women in senior roles: 20 per cent compared with 10 per cent," the report said. "Organisation-wide reductions in the gender pay gap were recorded for those companies that improved gender balance at the executive leadership level between 2015 and 2016." The report included other findings such as: - Male graduates access higher pay, with men more likely to nap the top graduate trainee salaries. - Women were much more likely to work part-time than men, and even out-earn men by about $4,000 a year. However, part-time managerial jobs tend to favour men, who earn more than 27 per cent than their female peers. - The gender pay gap grows with seniority, resulting in an annual difference of more than $93,000. But the case for raising money for charity and getting people talking about the "long forgotten gender pay gap" did not win everyone over. "Whilst appreciate highlighting the issue of pay, creating an us and them is divisive. Flip this, and Twitter is in flames," one Twitter user wrote. "I think if you want to fight for equality then surely treating everyone the same is the way to go," wrote Leroy Brown. Others supported the move, saying it was a fair move in considering that women are paid about 18 per cent less than men in certain roles. "Love it! Spaces for ladies is always great and highlighting the pay gap like this is harder for people to ignore," Fiona Cannon wrote. "As a man — no problem with it at all. No reason women shouldn't have their own spaces and be able to dictate what the rules are in them," Josh Elliott said. Meanwhile, staff of the cafe took to its Facebook page to address what they called a "hectic couple of days". "In three days we have opened the cafe, withstood a social media storm … and gotten Australia talking about the long forgotten gender pay gap," the post said, thanking customers who had shown their support. "I had a woman bring her daughters in today and when she came up to the till and saw our gorgeous vulva stones and our period sticker packs she beamed, thanked us for what we were doing and said 'what a beautiful place to take my daughters' … I swelled with pride," the Facebook post said. "We've had men travel across town to visit us and pay "the man tax" and throw some extra in the donation jar. "Guys, you're pretty neat."
............and this one is about a year too late as well.. Interpol joins search for Clive Mensink over Queensland Nickel collapse
Did you read it all? The original headline article made this sound like a wank (excuse the pun); this second article sounds like it's just clever promotion...

those tree house hotels are really cool - we stayed in treetop rooms at Tigertops in Nepal many years ago, but they were just shacks really (still cool to hear elephants snuffling under your bed at night!)
Does any one else find this story annoying, in that I think so what, and the cartoon says it all. is the jurno thinking its anti social to own a big house by youself. Housing affordability: thousands of large homes occupied by one person in Sydney and Melbourne
Yes, another stupid leftie journalist. The article has the usual emotive words like "glut" , complete with pics of homeless people. Let's all aspire to the lowest common denominator
Yep + 987,952,997 I wonder if this journalist would like a few homeless people to come and live with him in the house he's most probably worked hard for. He must have some spare space. What about in the void under the stairs? Probably get a few ice addicts in under there.
You should have bought my highset 3 bed house in the salubrious suburb of Caboolture. I sold it Xmas eve '13. Bought 'cos it had a 4 bay lockup shed at the back (that housed 2 full sized Ferrari,1x 8 cyl one,one minicar and even Marc put one of his sons' Hyundai/Daiwoo racer's into) PLUS 2 cars under the house(garaged),PLUS the 2 bay carport in front of it.
