Question: why is the Federal Government refusing to renew equal pay funding for the female-dominated community sector?

In 2012, Fair Work Australia agreed with @ASUnion that workers in areas like disability support, homelessness outreach, family violence and trauma counselling, etcâwhich are 80% womenâdeserved a pay rise.
This is called the equal remuneration order, or ERO.
