I shall. The blogger said:

Shame Gillard Shame, or should that be sham? Who do you think voted you in, largely, in their misplaced view you might do something for them, female voters; predominately in the caring industries...

And then there is more. Then there is a statement from the Diversity Council of Australia, who said of Labor’s betrayal:

Unfortunately this progress—

in reducing the gender pay gap—

has been dealt a blow with the federal government withdrawing its support for the funding component of the ASU test case.

And then there are the further very telling comments from the ASU secretary Sally McManus, who has said of Labor’s backflip, of Labor’s act of treachery:

It goes to that deeper thing—what does the Labor Party stand for? If it doesn’t stand for equal pay what on earth does it stand for?

This is what the Labor Party stands for. It stands for betrayal, deceit, treachery and disloyalty when it comes to slamming those people in the community whom it says that it supports. Those opposite should all be hanging their heads in shame. I hope every one of you on that side stood up in caucus and told the Prime Minister that she had a problem, because if you did not you are all weak— (Time expired)
