Tanya Plibersek will not be silenced on the issue of gender inequality
“Gender inequality has been a driver of the women’s movement for many years; and economic inequality is inextricable linked with gender inequality. The equity principle at the heart of the women’s movement has a particular relevance today, in a world characterised by rising economic inequality.”
This is an extract of a speech made by Tanya Plibersek MP, Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development, and Member for Sydney at the National Labor Women’s Conference on 2 August 2014.
Introducing Rodney Redneck …
She’s obviously a smart-arse bitch with reffo parents who came from some place called Slovenia. That’s somewhere near Wogland isn’t it? She got a free uni education cos Gough gave it to her at taxpayers’ expense. All that tax I had to pay cos I got sprung by the Tax Office, paid for her education. Women don’t need uni degrees. Apparently she worked for a Domestic Violence Unit. I think I like her after all. Anyone who promotes domestic violence is a friend of mine. My missus hasn’t got any fancy titles like Tanya has. I just call her cook or shagger, and that’s all she’s good for – apart from my beer money. She gets that from working for bugger-all at a women’s refuge. She can’t get a good job anywhere. She talks about “gender inequality” – what does that mean?

Dear Rodney
Suggest you have a look at this video about gender inequality in Australia. You should find it very educational. It could make you think about your attitude to women – and maybe even change your ways.
By the way, did you know that gender inequality contributes to the murder of around one Australian woman every week?
