My question this afternoon is for the Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. Women's economic equality is central to achieving gender equality. Gender equality at work is an important aspect of this, and today the Workplace Gender Equality Agency revealed that the gender pay gap has reduced by over one per cent—the biggest reduction in the gender pay gap in eight years. Can the minister please update the Senate on the latest gender pay gap figures and the work the government is doing to advance women's economic equality and close the gender pay gap?
