Use of staff hired for the scheme
Hussey asked how the 60 additional staff hired to administer the scheme were now employed. The Minister promised to provide the information, preferably immediately.
Since the Government have no plans to give women working at home any rights to part of the family income, perhaps the Minister could tell us how the 60 additional staff taken on by the Department of Finance to administer this scheme are now employed.
Comment on this
If the Government have decided not to go ahead with this scheme, for the administration of which a great many extra staff were employed, surely we should know what they are employed at if they are not to be involved in redistributing family incomes.
