My question is to the Minister for Women, Senator Cash, about the gender pay gap. A report released today by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency shows that women in senior management positions earn on average $100,000 less than their male colleagues. This is along with Bureau of Statistics figures that show an average gender pay gap of 24.7 per cent on total remuneration for full-time workers in Australia. All this government has done about the gender pay gap so far is water down the requirements for big business to report, abolish the low-income super contribution and attack paid parental leave. Now that we have a whole six women in a cabinet of 22, when are we going to see a plan to fix the gender pay gap?
