It is the case that the system that we have at present has disproportionate focus on some instances in the public sector. So you can have a situation arise where one mother who might earn over $100,000 plus 15 per cent super will have access to up to, for instance, 14 weeks of employer paid maternity leave. When you consider the leave for that person plus the taxpayer funded leave, they could receive $44½ thousand, which is more than most mothers earn in a year. (Time expired)
