Senator: So you don't account for overtime, which may be biasing your data?

Lady: No we don't.

Senator: Why don't you?

Lady: Because we don't.

Senator: ... I know but why not?

Lady: Because we don't. The gender pay gap is 15.2%.

Other lady: she's right we don't do that.

Senator: B U T W H Y N O T?

Lady: Because we don't. MeN sIT aT ThEir DeSks BUt DoN'T WOrK. Lol.

Senator: ...What...

Lady: The gender pay gap is 15.2%

Senator: Go correct your shit.

Lady: K.

How could they not be prepared for the most logical and most often used counter argument against their big cause?
Pitch perfect example of how these people live in their own little bubbles.

Can’t let the narrative down!

That snarky ‘senator’ tone made me want to punch a kitten. He was asking very direct questions and she danced around it like a stripper on pay day. I’m all for equal pay, but Christ get the figures to back up your claim! They walked in with a ‘fuck you, pay me’ attitude and that’s never gonna fly!

Stammering, sighs & silences.

Go to this lady's website. They have a button called 'Our Leadership Team' consisting of a picture with 2 mixed men and 3 mixed women. Click through to the page and the entire leadership team is 4 white women. All images here on their site: https://www.wgea.gov.au/about-us/our-leadership-team

That Libby lady is such a doo doo.

Fantoche_Dreemurr · 2019-02-28T12:54:07+00:00

How dare he attack that sacred lie? Don't he know he's not supposed to pay attention to the glaring holes in that shit?

SanGoloteo · 2019-02-28T13:35:32+00:00

They can’t even answer the most basic and obvious questions between the 3 of them. I think someone should set up an agency to investigate what the fuck it is they get paid for.

How the hell do you annualize a salary without knowing the hours worked? lol, she's so full of shit.

Made-a-blade · 2019-02-28T14:02:22+00:00

Haha. Bam. One hit with the logic-hammer and she sounds like a six-year-old trying to keep three topics going at once.

Don’t confuse them with the facts, they’ve already made up their minds!

BibiGarrison · 2019-02-28T08:08:43+00:00

Meme gender

Incarnate_666 · 2019-02-28T13:29:46+00:00

Some of these gender pay gap studies don't even compare similar roles

2019-02-28T14:07:05+00:00

Wow that was so painful.. these women have no statistical expertise at all.

antimarxman · 2019-02-28T22:23:58+00:00

Figures don’t lie, but liars figure!

SanGoloteo · 2019-02-28T23:23:28+00:00

LOL reminds me when I had to present in college and I tried to BS my way through it and my teacher would ask the simplest questions and I'd be like "duuuuuhhhh I dunno"

PolishPrince · 2019-02-28T18:29:39+00:00

I love how he kept his cool and still annihilated her, simply by asking questions.

DarkSoulsEater · 2019-03-01T14:43:16+00:00

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

How do this complete morons have any position higher than janitor?

Im fucking serious, what is wrong with mankind?

R1ntezukaHFE · 2019-03-05T14:00:50+00:00

My favorite part of this whole thing, is that you can SEE her squirm when she realizes he isn’t taking their intellectually dishonest answers. He’s asking if the hours worked data between men and women would cause the discrepancy and they won’t answer because they know it does. I love you can SEE them think “fuck fuck fuck fuck”

phydox · 2019-03-07T02:23:53+00:00

I hope that one day I am able to talk with stupid people and still remain as calm as this gent.

FFS Australia goes through Primeministers like I go through my socks, why isn't this guy running the country?

NapalmForBreakfast · 2019-03-17T01:34:06+00:00

They were taking the data and bending the results in their favor. Fuck that entire pannel.
