I thank Senator Moore for her question. In relation to women and the policies that this government has, I can inform the Senate of one thing: this government will deliver on policies for women. Unlike the former government, who, when it came to policies for women, liked to talk but failed to deliver.

Let me give you an example: under the former Howard government, the gender pay gap was 14.9 per cent—it was still too high, I assure you. What did it get to under the former Labor government and, in particular, former Prime Minister Gillard?
