Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Today's data also shows that 23 per cent of company directors are women, but in the federal cabinet there is only one woman out of 19—a pitiful five per cent. Only 17 per cent of the front bench is women. Even corporate Australia is beating you when it comes to women in leadership positions. When will this government lead by example and appoint more women to cabinet?
