What we're not doing is limiting parents in the leave they can take by saying, 'You only get to choose your employer leave or your government leave,' because that, as the Human Rights Commission said, was a regressive measure that was inconsistent with Australia's human rights obligations. We will not do that, even if those on the other side decide to.
