My question is for the Minister for Finance and Women, Senator Gallagher. Today's release of employer-level gender pay gap data by the excellent WGEA is a move that the Greens have long called for, but the results are shocking. Employers should be embarrassed into fixing their gender pay gap, but there is a role for government here too. Many of the employers today reporting enormous gender pay gaps receive large government grants. For example, climate-wrecker Santos has a median gender pay gap of 24.7 per cent. In 2021, the government awarded Santos a $16½ million grant for its Moomba carbon capture and storage project. Minister, how many of the companies reporting a gender pay gap today receive government grants, and will the government stop subsidising discrimination by not giving grants to employers with gender pay gaps?
