My information is that the gender balance in the retail trade sector is 55.5 per cent female and 44.5 per cent male, and in the accommodation and food services sector it is 53.4 per cent female and 46.6 per cent male. While the Fair Work Commission said that it did have regard to this, it noted there was a report which suggested that, of the hospitality workers who receive penalty rates, 50.7 per cent are male, compared to 49.3 per cent who are female. I am just quoting from the evidence that was being presented.
