Sex Discrimination
Ultimately, the point I would like to leave you with, is that it is possible for issues of discrimination to be addressed effectively in workplaces, and within the scope of current industrial relations and employment law.

It is over a year ago, that I stood here for the first time, amidst an economic downturn and wondered whether the long awaited Paid Parental Leave scheme would end up on the cutting room floor.

It is a great pleasure to attend my first national PIR group conference here in Canberra. My predecessor always spoke highly of the conferences so when Heather offered me the opportunity, I was keen to participate. I have met with Heather and Stephen on a number of occasions now and there are areas where it makes sense to come together. I would like to talk about one of these areas – PML - in some detail today.

We all know why we're here today. You're here because men aren't seeing enough of their children, that after divorce they're lone fathers if they're lucky and cheque books on legs if things turn out badly. Sadly, there are some men who just disappear as dads altogether.

After the Barbecue. Thank you for the opportunity to address your Work Life Balance Conference about, of course, work life balance. How quickly those words have become familiar to us, how rich they are in meaning, how endless the possibilities. Synonymous with the Prime Minister’s phrase “the barbecue stopper”, work life balance is a fashionable topic. It has been fashionable for a long time. Even a poor student of history must appreciate that industrialisation, in particular the separation of work from home, is the genesis of this particular question of balance.

It is nearly fifteen years since the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act - legislation enacted in Australia to meet our international obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. At the same time too, we have seen the introduction of legislation (The Affirmative Action Act) designed to commit organisations of 100 or more employees to determining measures and programs to ensure that women are afforded equal opportunity.

My father first took me to the Institute of Public Affairs as it was then known, before Anne and Gerard Henderson revolutionised it as the Sydney Institute. I remember the topic was “Should Australia have an Aircraft Carrier?” I sat next to an English engineer who was on the first nuclear submarine. He spend 4 months submerged near the Russian base of Murmansk. There was absolute radio silence and he didn’t learn of the birth of his daughter until he returned to England many months later.
