But only in Australia!
This is very obviously The Year of the Woman and finally. For eons upon eons upon eons ladies have been dealt a bummer hand. Like, since the beginning of mankind even. For eons they have been the unwilling object of Harvey Weinstein’s advances. For eons they have had to wear bras. For eons they have been paid less than their male counterparts for the same exact work.
Until today.
For it is in this Year of the Woman that they finally finally finally make more than Adriano de Souza. Or wait, I’m sorry, more than Mikey Wright because this miracle is only happening in Australia. Shall we together together from Australia’s tax office releases?
As with all data, it’s worth keeping in mind the fine print:
-The data covers the 2015-16 financial year and was released by the Australian Tax Office today.
-These figures look at the earnings of 16 million Australians, based on what they declare on their tax returns, including what job they work in.
-The data does not take into account whether someone is working part-time or full-time; therefore if more women than men in a given occupation work part-time, for example, that affects the averages.
The greatest difference in female versus male average taxable income was for an occupation category the ATO labelled “state governors”, but which is defined more broadly as “legislators not classified under other occupations”, and which includes Aboriginal Community Council Members and Aboriginal Land Councillors.
Six women and 19 men listed that category as their occupation, with the women having taxable incomes of $286,676 and the men $169,148.
Female futures traders had an average taxable income of $388,681 compared with $300,923.
The 22 female surfers ($68,178) had higher taxable incomes than the 81 male surfers ($40,396).
And the 18 female goat farmers ($66,127) earn more than their 22 male counterparts ($44,495).
So mostly men still make more than women except in the fields of futures trading, goat farming and professional surfing.
Good company.
Great company.
Hard to believe women don’t out earn men as prostitutes. Where’s that stat, you ATO know it alls?
In Aberdeen (Scotland) the local dialect has men as ‘loons’ and women as ‘quines.’
There you go.
Makes sense, there are less of them and they are more marketable.
Bro, I feel bad for that chick. I had to break up with a chick cause she got slipped K and lost her damn mind. Not good!! Hope they at least tune that guy up on the downlow!!
Blame my poor english, but does that mean 22 women and 81 men are listed as surfers as far as taxes are concerned in Australia?
Either there’s only 103 surfers in Australia, or it’s better to identify as a shark for tax reasons.
pretty sure this is the only time futures trading, goat farming and professional surfing has been used in the same sentence.
impressive.
not quite headstone worthy, but a good chance of making the obituary.
I think we have loons, yes. I mean, we have divey, swimmy little birds? In the ocean? I think those are loons, but maybe I’ve been wrong all this time. Birds is hard.
I have a tendency toward the lead-footed. So uh not much time in the slow lane really! Um, maybe that’s not great, but here we are. The best way to get through the Central Valley is to drive like you stole it, so it goes by faster.
I’ve always wanted to steal a car and go on a MP like drive up the freeway. Seems exciting doesn’t it.
Oh ha ha I think I’d be terrible at being on the lam. I’d be like, can we stop? I have to pee. This seems inconvenient for evading capture.
i think those are cormorants
ooooh, i’m learning so much here!
yes, i believe you’re right! comorants! i dig ’em.
biguá…
We have loons on the west coast, pacific loons and red-throated loons. Smaller than cormorants. Poor little buggers seem to always get hit hard by the red tide, you’ll see em washed up dead all over.
Definitely have loons here, you’re right. Red eyes, thin bill, often in the surf zone. Several species of them.
We got loons by the bucket up in BC brah.
damn. totally missed it. that’s what i get for driving around california like a loon.
Women do farm goats like nobody’s business. And lavender too – women farm the fuck out of some lavender.
What happened to the attempted date rape/ ketamine/ lagundri cess pool story? Chas mentioned in an interview that the grit doesn’t retract, just let’s it ride.., unlike Stab
Potential libel issue probably. Or the clashing leads suddenly fell in love and it’s now being rewritten as the romcom When Harry Drugged Sally
Fuckin brilliant
Hope it doesnt deter impervious on future writings
#metoo she’s my favorite!
Author wanted it pulled, Too many repercussions on innocent parties.
It’s Indonesia, paragraphs in the wrong hands on some of the subject matter can destroy lives.
Apologies to all, from all.
Thanks Neg! I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to explain.
but you are quite comfortable publishing information that will likely lead male goat farmers the country over to start looking into a gender reassignment surgery as a viable option.
gold…
i have no idea whats going on, someone please provide backstory
The author realised her story was fiction so she took it to the tabloids instead?
It’s a bad time when your schtick is date rape stories.
But aside from that, the tone of the story for me was very much: man hands out pills in bar, strangers willingly accept pills, strangers feel bad the next day, blame man.
I didn’t like it. I’m glad it was pulled.
I did too. Reading some of the comments the writer mentioned an 11 year old son. My mind raced as too where said spawn was while all this was going down. Also, she said she didn’t do drugs, so how would she know what ketamine does? Many, many holes.
Indo monkeys can’t read.
But really, she is the next Michael Kocher, isn’t she? Full of shit.
For once I got to read something before it was was pulled. Scary to be traveling women surfer in 2000’s..
The invisible ink story is becoming a BG specialty!
