  • Summary

  • The Government is being criticised for their use of urgency to pass legislation.

    A law to lift the threshold for gender-discrimination pay equity claims and extinguish claims under way is likely to pass today, after only being announced yesterday.

    The Government's said it could save the taxpayer billions of dollars.

    Taxpayers Union Policy and Public Affairs Manager James Ross told Kerre Woodham that urgency has a place, but it should be an emergency button as opposed to something in the government’s standard toolbox.

    He believes the reason urgency is being used in this case is because they don’t want this in the media for too long, as it’s a difficult conversation to be having.
