I thank Senator Mulholland for that supplementary, and, as Senator Mulholland touched on, driving women's economic equality has been a key priority for our government. That means lifting wages and closing gaps where we see them, including in pay but also in super. We've done a lot of work, and I acknowledge Senator McAllister, who, when we first came to government, did a very significant piece of work around inequality when it comes to women's superannuation.

Labor's tax cuts also ensured that women taxpayers were 90 per cent better off under our arrangements, and of course we've reformed the low-income super tax offset to support lower-income women to save more for their retirement. We've introduced payday super to ensure that people get their super earlier, and that will assist in closing that gap as well. It has, of course, joined with our broader focus on driving wages and getting wages moving again.
