- Description
The cartoon begins with the text 'PUNCTUATION reMARKS' and shows a round black period (full stop) with the face of 'Alasdair Thompson' and the letters 'EMA' (Employers and Manufacturers Association) on it. Below the image are the words 'THE FOOL STOP... also known as a PERIOD... meaning "to end".' Context - Alasdair Thompson, CEO the Employers Manufacturing Association, went on radio to debate a new bill targeting equal pay between men and women and said some women were less productive because they took more time off for things like children and monthly periods. Later in a TV interview with Mihingarangi Forbes he said women took more time off than men because of their 'monthly sick problem'. He has been sacked and the comment has sparked huge debate. The American term for a full stop is a 'period' as is the common name for menstruation.
