I thank Senator Urquhart for the question. As Minister for Women I'm very proud to say that gender equality has been at the core of this government from day one, because gender equality is a core Labor value. I don't need to convince my colleagues, men or women, that we need to get moving on gender equality. We just get on with it. The Albanese government is putting gender equality front and centre of our economic policy. We're giving women more choices through modernising and expanding PPL and making child care cheaper. We released the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Childrenunder the leadership—

Well, it was a very different plan, Senator Ruston, by the time it got signed off, let me tell you that, by the time the states and territories signed up to it. We've got our housing agenda. We're implementing the Respect@Work recommendations, including a positive duty for workplaces to prevent sexual harassment. We're beginning work on the national strategy for gender equality, guided by the Women's Economic Equality Taskforce, and there is more to do. (Time expired)
