Budgets and Women at Work

Current Affairs.

Since 1984 Federal Governments have produced a Women’s Budget Statement as one element of the official Budget Papers. The present government discontinued this practice last year.

In response, the National Foundation for Australian Women together with others took up the task of analysing the implications of the budget that were of particular interest to women. See link below for this analysis.  John Menadue.
