My question is for the Minister for Women, Senator Cash. I refer to the alarming rates of discrimination and sexual harassment that still occurs for women in the workplace, as well as the ongoing gender pay gap between women and men. I also refer to the Working Women's Centre in my home state of Queensland, as well as the other centres in South Australia and the Northern Territory, which provides support for vulnerable working women in the community through a free specialist employment service. Is the minister aware that federal funding for these working women's centres is due to cease from 30 June 2016?
