Think about the record of this government. This is a government that has cut maternity leave for half of all new parents. It is a government that has slashed funding for women's shelters and legal services. It is a government that has tried to raise the cost of education and cut pensions—all of which will hurt women. This is what we get when someone like this Prime Minister tries to stand up for women. He does not speak for me and he does not speak for us.
