My question is to the Treasurer. There are two positive economic steps that the government can take right now: abolishing the activity test, which limits subsidised early childhood education and care, and a wage increase for all early childhood educators. These measures would enable more children to access care, would address the shortage of workers in the sector, would enable more women to work and would boost productivity and the overall economy—win, win, win, win. Will the government take these wins for women in the budget?
