Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Today's report also shows that where there are more women on corporate boards the pay gap for employees is smaller, yet government boards are failing to meet their target of 40 per cent women. The Greens and quite a few on the crossbench have a bill before the Senate that would make that target binding in law. Given the evidence in today's report, will the government now reconsider its opposition to that bill and legislate those targets for women on government boards?
