Paid Maternity Leave
9:41 am
Kerry Nettle (NSW, Australian Greens) Share this | Hansard source
I, and also on behalf of Senator Stott Despoja, move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes that Australia and the United States of America are the only two Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries without a national paid maternity leave scheme;
- (b)
- congratulates marie claire for its ‘Push It’ campaign calling for mandatory paid maternity leave; and
- (c)
- calls on the Government to legislate for government-funded paid maternity leave.
Question put.
