I have to say: it is all about choice, it is all about diversity and it is all about everything that Senator Payne has been saying in answer to the questions that she has been asked this week by those on the other side. We cannot help it if you do not like the answers that we give. In relation to women and choices, let me tell you what this government is doing. It has had a Productivity Commission review into child care, because we understand that women are often unable to make choices because of the lack of proper child care in this country—unlike those on the other side, who promised the world in relation to child care and failed to deliver on anything. It is a little bit like, as Senator Cormann said, they had the pub with no beer—they had the mining tax with no money. Those on the other side, when it comes to women in this country, are all talk. But the 17.6 per cent gender pay gap under their government, the failure to include superannuation in a PPL scheme, says it all. (Time expired)
