My question is to the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. Government funded paid parental leave is a vital support for many new parents in Australia. It is a proud Labor achievement introduced under the leadership of federal Labor and Jenny Macklin back in 2011. Yesterday this Labor legacy was extended, with paid parental leave expanding out to 22 weeks. Can the minister please outline the aspects of the Albanese government's paid parental leave reforms and how these reforms will benefit many mums and dads in our community?
