My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. This month your government announced it would pay superannuation on government-funded paid parental leave. You described the measure as 'an investment in women's economic security'. Not that I need to remind you, but you said in your media release that women's economic security is 'a key feature of our economic plan'. Can you tell me a bit more about why it's so important to invest in improving the retirement savings of women?
