00:04We're all working hard.
00:06I'm the most luckiest woman probably alive.
00:08You never really know what's going to hit you on any given day.
00:12New data shows the gender pay gap is getting narrower.
00:16At 11.2% it's down 0.9 percentage points from last year.
00:22It means, on average, an Australian woman earns 88.8 cents for every dollar a man takes home.
00:29We want to see these numbers reduce and we're pleased that the rate of reduction is accelerating
00:35so more employers have a lower gender pay gap.
00:38This is not about equal pay for equal work. That's the law and has been for decades.
00:43The gender pay gap is about average earnings
00:46and it's affected by women doing more part-time work, taking on more caring responsibilities
00:51and working more in industries that don't have salary boosters like bonuses.
00:56Some of our biggest employers are close to eliminating the gap, like the supermarkets.
01:02But others, like the big four banks, are still all above the national average.
01:08More than half of the 5.9 million workers covered by the data are employed in a gender dominated industry
01:15where more than 60% of people are men or women.
01:18There is something very productive and important that comes from diversity
01:22that people from different backgrounds and experiences bring to it.
01:26I'm not here to please anyone else or please any man or anyone else.
01:31I'm just there to be me and to do the job I do.
01:35A gender gap profitable for all of us to fill in.
