Virtually no Liberal MPs attended. I commend those who did, but the Minister for Women wasn't there and the Prime Minister wasn't there. Despite many people travelling a long way to be there, the Prime Minister wanted women to come even further and have a closed-door meeting with him. He couldn't find 10 minutes to go and meet with them. One of the asks of the petition which I will seek leave to table, signed by 70,000 people, is for action to implement the 55 recommendations of the 'respect@work' inquiry. My question is: when will we see action to implement those recommendations? I seek leave to table this 70,000-strong petition calling for that and other things.

Leave granted.
