Luxon accuses pay equity shake-up critics of ‘scaremongering’

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has accused critics of the government’s pay equity shake-up of spreading fear and gendered abuse. However, Labour has fired back, accusing the coalition of gaslighting half the population.

The recent law change, which was rushed through under urgency last week, raised the threshold for workers to prove they have been underpaid due to their gender. This move is expected to save the government billions of dollars that would have otherwise been paid out in increased wages.

Luxon addressed reporters on Monday afternoon, emphasizing that equal pay, pay parity, collective bargaining, and settled pay equity agreements remain unchanged. He condemned the gender-based abuse directed at female ministers, calling it unacceptable.

He pointed out instances of inappropriate behavior, such as a derogatory opinion piece and a controversial image shared on social media, and stressed the need for respectful debate on the issue.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins also denounced the abusive behavior and stated that steps were being taken to prevent such incidents in the future. He acknowledged the emotional nature of the debate but criticized the government for prioritizing budget concerns over fairness.

Luxon defended the government’s position, dismissing claims of fearmongering and insisting that the law change was necessary for ensuring transparency and fairness in pay equity. He declined to disclose the exact savings, citing budget sensitivity.

Hipkins expressed concern over the delay in revealing the saved amount, labeling it unjust. He called for transparency and urged the government to provide clarity on the financial impact of the law change.

The debate between Luxon and Hipkins highlighted the differing perspectives on pay equity and the importance of understanding the nuances of the issue. Despite their disagreements, both leaders emphasized the need for respectful discourse and a focus on achieving fair outcomes for all workers.
