My question is to the Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. In 2022, Australia was ranked 43rd in the world for gender equality according to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, which examines the gap between men and women in 146 different countries. Can the minister confirm that this embarrassing position is a reflection on a decade of neglect of gender equality in Australia by the former federal government and a failure to move the dial on gender equality and deliver policies that genuinely supported women? Can the minister also update the Senate on any improvements to our ranking following the election of the Albanese government?
