No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary

While the Labor Party acknowledges that factors such as education, experience, and tenure can impact salary, they still strongly support the principle of equal pay for equal work and would likely disagree with this answer as it implies that these factors justify a gender pay gap.
