Thank you, President—for the third time. My question is for the Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. Last year, the Fair Work Commission found workers in female dominated industries have been underpaid and undervalued. Since coming to government, the Albanese Labor government has made women's economic security a priority. Today, the government announced that it will fund significant wage rises for care sector workers. How will today's announcement make a difference to hundreds of thousands of Australian women?
