My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services, Senator Farrell. Minister, I know, and those of us on this side know, that raising children while juggling work commitments can be challenging for many Australian families. We know that parents, employers, unions, gender experts and economists are united in their understanding that providing more choice, more support and more flexibility for families, and more opportunities for women, boost workforce participation and productivity across the economy. Can the minister please outline for the chamber how the Albanese government's paid parental leave changes will deliver more choice, more support and greater flexibility to working families?
