Pay up

In 2018, is it too much to ask that women be paid the same amount as men for doing the same job? Apparently the answer is yes. In Australia – and most other western countries – the wage gap between the sexes is substantial. But there is one country in the world with a solution. Tara Brown travelled to Iceland where it’s now law that companies pay up. Women and men, in equivalent roles, get equal money or their bosses cop a fine. Everyone seems pretty happy there, so why couldn’t it work here?
