I can hear those over there groaning as we talk about important investments in women; important investments in women's safety; tax cuts; over $3.4 billion for women's safety; expanding PPL and paying super on it; cheaper child care; lifting rent assistance; expanding parenting payment single and ditching ParentsNext; workplace relations reform; Medicare reform; and pay increases for the lowest paid and aged-care workers. Over 50 per cent of this government are women, but 100 per cent of this government are committed to working for women. Those opposite haven't advanced any ideas that would support women in Australia, because they are still having a fight with themselves about whether advancing women's rights or equality for women in their own ranks is the right thing to do.
