Scoop Images: Pay Equity’s “No Stone
Unturned” Protest Images by Rory MacKinnon
The lawn outside
Parliament on Wednesday was immaculate as always, but that
didn’t stop several dozen demonstrators poring over it in
search of a way to close New Zealand’s gender pay
gap.
The small crowd clad in fluoro vests held aloft
styrofoam boulders and called on Minister of Women’s
Affairs Pansy Wong to meet a 2009 promise to “leave no
stone unturned in trying to close the pay gap”.
The
demonstration also marked one year since the Government’s
decision to scrap its Pay & Employment Equity
Unit.
