Thank you very much for the supplementary. While we are very pleased with the improvement of Australia's position on the global stage, there is much work to do here nationally, which is why we are developing a national strategy to achieve gender equality to continue to drive improvements to gender equality across Australia. We are listening to women across the community to develop this strategy. We have had feedback from over 3,000 individuals and organisations through the process, and I have been privileged to sit around many of the roundtables in discussions with women and girls to hear from them directly about their priorities. The strategy will also be informed by the advice from the Women's Economic Equality Taskforce, which is due to provide its report to me shortly. There is a lot of work to be done, but we are determined to make a difference and to improve gender equality in this country, because not only does that improve the lives of women, it improves the lives of all of us.
