摘要

澳大利亚和全球地方政府内部缺乏多样性被认为是一个问题。然而,政府为增加妇女、青年、种族化的少数民族、残疾人等的代表性所作的努力并没有解决阻碍他们参与的一个主要障碍:报酬不足。在这篇文章中,我们展示了来自调查、访谈和人种学研究的数据,以揭示不向议员支付生活工资的后果。批判性志愿服务的镜头揭示了鼓励妇女成为议员的方式,作为社区活动的延伸,结果她们的劳动报酬过低。我们认为,鼓励代表性不足的群体竞争议会席位,而不增加他们占据该角色的财务可行性,不仅不能解决新南威尔士州议会缺乏多样性的问题,而且会给最无力承担成本的人带来过重的代表性负担。

Representation as privilege or burden: centring pay to achieve gender parity and ‘diversity’ in local government
A lack of diversity within local government in Australia and globally is recognised as a problem. Government efforts to increase the representation of women, youth, racialised minorities, people with disabilities and so on do not, however, address a major impediment to their participation: inadequate remuneration. In this article, we present data from a survey, interviews and ethnographic research to reveal the consequences of not paying councillors a living wage. A lens of critical volunteerism exposes the ways in which women are encouraged to become councillors as an extension of community activities, only to be underpaid for their labour. We argue that encouraging under-represented groups to contest for a place on councils without increasing the financial feasibility of them occupying the role will not only fail to address a lack of diversity on New South Wales councils but put too heavy a burden of representation on people least able to bear the costs.
