This govt does not value women;pay equity

Really? Then what do you think it does equate to, if not exactly that....
And anything designed to deliberatey disadvantage a section of society cannot under any circumstances be called in any way "noble"

I said the Pay Equity Act was noble in its intention. 

As to what scrapping it equates to, it equates to getting rid of nobly intended but poorly executed legislation.  Despite its name, the Act doesn't actually achieve its goal of ensuring that everyone is paid the same rate for the same amount of "comparable" work.  At best, it just creates different inequities

Ever heard of Lysistrata? She sorted out a few misogynists in her time.
I do wonder though how long we'd last if women declared just a single 24 hours of general strike...
No working, no caregiving, no managing, no buying, no sex...

And how long would we last if men declared a general strike?  I don't think you would be able to find any sane person who would seriously argue that either strike wouldn't be immensely disruptive, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove.

The point - which you seem to be doing your best to avoid - is that women are paid less than men.
THAT is the basis of this, & I find it extremely difficult to believe that ACT had anything other than financial gain to some at the expense of others in mind.

They are after all an extreme rightwing Neo Liberal party...

Women should be paid the very same wage as are men.

Men have declared general strikes, and women kept feeding them, looking after their kids, doing their laundry, dusting their homes, and giving them cuddles.

See, the difference is we keep providing the necessities, and letting men do the important stuff, like politics, and boardrooms, and declaring war. But when we try to say, hey, we are people first, women second, then men like that ACT person and his sycophantic hand selected minions start putting us back in our place.

It's okay dken, we're used to it. We'll still cook your dinner, make your bed, and serve you at the supermarket. Don't you worry...

Yeah....that cooking thing? Fairly sure I know where I can lay my hands on some hemlock.....

(For anyone inclinded to attempt making that comment something it definitely is not, That was a JOKING REMARK....)


And lets not forget that women too have helped fight wars.
