Female public servants in Australia earn 10.8% less than male colleagues, according to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). The agency's new scorecard revealed the data from 116 public departments, agencies, authorities, and government enterprises employing nearly 340,000 workers. The findings follow new rules introduced by the Albanese government last year requiring mandatory reporting of company and public service remuneration data.
