    		According to a March 2003 release on the website
    of the shadow minister for children and youth they
    are still waiting! Their estimate is that the
    average weekly wage for a female worker in Australia is 67% of male earnings or $271 less per
    week. That's a lot of money!
    The principle of equal pay for work of equal value
    was introduced in 1969. The main argument against
    its implementation seems to be that women are employed under different awards.
