Women would get information about pay rates in their workplace to test if there is gender-based discrimination, under new legislation welcomed by the Human Rights Commission.
A private member's bill by Green Party MP Jan Logie has been drawn from the ballot.

Employers would be required to pass that information on to the Department of Labour for publication in aggregate form.
