It would be very hard to be against that. Given that the stated goal of the pay equity regime is to provide equal pay for work of equal value, I think one of the benefits will be obviously to provide enhanced pay for groups that have been disadvantaged. It's true that it will benefit some women, but it could also benefit some male-dominated groups, although no example comes to mind. But it will certainly further enhance or advance gender equality.
