I think I've been on the record saying there's no shortage of ideas that the government would like to fund, if we had room to do that. I acknowledge that, once we have addressed this anomaly—which is the only workplace entitlement that doesn't have superannuation paid on it—obviously there will be pressure and interest and advocacy around extending arrangements as we are getting in PPL more generally. Yesterday, we extended it to six months. The first question I got at a press conference was: when is it going to be 12 months? So I accept that, when you make inroads into these things, then comes what's next. The government will look at all of these matters. We're working with the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. They will have provided their advice to government about the next best opportunity to support and drive women's economic equality.
