abstract: 'Australia''s equal pay laws have recently been renovated through the
Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 and the Fair Work Act 2009. In light
of these changes, it is timely to ask how effective Australia''s
legislative approach is likely to be for progressing pay equity. This
article presents an analysis of Australia''s current equal pay
provisions, assessing their potential on the basis of their operation to
date and through recent experience in Canada and the UK. Although
focused on outcomes, we argue that Australia''s new workplace-based
mechanism under the Workplace Gender Equality Act may prove relatively
ineffective in both diagnosing and remedying pay inequality. In
comparative perspective the Fair Work Act provisions provide significant
capacity to improve pay equity across large sectors of the labour
market. To date the use of these provisions point to some practical
limitations in realising this potential. Moreover, the inadequate
legislative and policy integration between labour market, sectoral,
workplace and individual approaches together with a wavering political
commitment to equality legislation generally suggest gender pay inequity
will remain a persistent feature of Australian employment.'
