The Australian public voted overwhelmingly for the coalition government. That is it. Senator Waters, it is not just about one thing that you get hung up on that is going to make a difference. This government is actively working with businesses throughout Australia to ensure that we create the policy framework in which businesses can operate to ensure that more women are able to move through the pipeline and are put into leadership positions. We provided $650,000 to the Australian Institute of Company Directors to ensure that 140 women in this country are able to undertake the AICD business course. That is a good policy initiative that, quite frankly, you should be supporting. (Time expired)
