Women's suffrage

 What year did Maori men get the vote:  Male Māori Australians were first given the vote through the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, which specifically limited voting enrolment to persons of European descent, and aboriginal natives of New Zealand, in an effort to allay New Zealand's concerns about joining the Federation of Australia.

Why did most people thing women should not vote: Anti-suffragists argued that most women did not want the vote. Because they took care of the home and children, they said women did not have time to vote or stay updated on politics. Some argued women lacked the expertise or mental capacity to offer a useful opinion about political issues.

What does the phrase " drinking their wages " mean: Employees must be paid in money (NZ banknotes and coins) unless:

• their employer is the Crown or a local authority, then the employer can choose to pay the employee by cheque
• the employee agrees or asks in writing to be paid by postal order, money order, cheque or bank deposit. If the employee wants to change to be paid in cash, they need to tell their employer in writing. Their employer then has to make the change as soon as possible and within 2 weeks
• the employee is away from the proper or usual place for the payment of their wages, then they can be paid by postal order, money order or cheque
• the employment agreement provides some other form of payment.

Employers can’t tell employees how they must spend their money.

The rally was sponsored by the National Organization for Women (NOW).
