My question is to the Minister for Community Services, Minister for Indigenous Employment and Economic Development and Minister for the Status of Women. The social and community services pay equity legislation was passed by the House today. What does this mean for some of our lowest paid workers who have been waiting for fairness and justice in the workplace? Can the minister set out the facts about the impact of the government's pay equity reform on working people and the economy?
