The government has made addressing women's economic equality central to our decision-making in government, so you have seen the reforms that we've introduced through our measures around investments in child care and those reforms I talked about in gender pay gap reporting. We've got measures across the education and training sectors, through the Skills Guarantee. We've addressed some of the big issues around the parenting payment single and programs like ParentsNext. I've got the Women's Economic Equality Taskforce report, which will feed into the National Strategy to Achieve Gender Equality next year. All of that is pulling in the direction of wanting to address some of the structural barriers to women's economic independence and economic equality and make sure that women get a fair crack at the opportunities going forward.
