Minister, I turn to the minimum standards. The explanatory memorandum states that before 1 April 2014 the minister will by legislative instrument set minimum standards in relation to specified gender equality indicators, specified relevant employees and specified reporting periods. You will be aware that there has been a three-year lead time to this legislation, along with the fact that it has been on the government's legislative agenda for some time this year. Could you please advise the Senate of what progress the minister has made in relation to the development of the minimum standards to date.
