Seriously? Again ... seriously? Partly as a result of the gender pay gap, a figure that represents the myriad of workplace injustices women experience, women over the age of 55 are the fastest growing portion of the homeless population.

And @andrewprobyn The PM clearly still doesn’t understand the gender pay gap. It is a composite figure that represents the myriad of ways women are disadvantaged in the workplace. Not just men and women paid differently for doing the exact same job. That’s the bloody point of it.
If the PM can’t get to grips with that — undervaluing women’s work, the impact of unpaid caring responsibilities disproportionately felt by women, occupational segregation etc — he has a LOT of catching up to do before the budget.
And neither the budget nor any further iteration of the women’s economic security statement will be credible unless he, and his task force or women ministers, get to grips with the issues. #crediblewomen
