I thank Senator Stewart for the supplementary question. As Senator Stewart knows, because she's part of the first majority women government in this country, and I work so closely with all of my colleagues from the status of women committee and more broadly, our decision-making has been focused on driving women's economic equality, whether it be in our policies around cheaper child care, whether it's around our modernised PPL, whether it's the work we've put into the women's safety front, or whether it's implementing the Respect@Work report and all 55 recommendations. It's about transparency and accountability on the gender pay gap. It's about making sure we address inequality where we see it, like in the single parenting payment and some of those interactions. There is more to do, but this tax plan, Labor's lower taxes plan, will significantly improve women's interaction with the tax system and return more money to their pockets. (Time expired)
