In a range of those areas, the Women's Economic Equality Taskforce came up with a range of priorities, many of which we have delivered on—not all of them, but many we have—so we are remaining true to those processes and the advice that they have given.

No, I can't provide you with a date. These are decisions that the government hasn't taken at this point in time. But it remains a priority. Senator McAllister led the work on this some time ago, in a previous parliament. She led the work on this, and she put it on the national agenda, along with a lot of other advocacy organisations. It is in our platform because of that work, and we intend to deliver on it. No, I can't give you a date, but we remain committed to it, and we can remain committed to gender equality in this country and, as part of that, seeing a significant improvement in women's economic security.
