My question is to the Minister for Women and Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, you've spoken before about the Albanese government's commitment to paid parental leave, a policy that Labor introduced and that is now expanding and modernising. Labor's commitment to PPL is also about valuing the important work of caring for babies, supporting families to share the care and reducing the long-term economic impact of time out of the workforce, especially for women. Can the minister please outline why the government is committed to paid parental leave and why adding superannuation to PPL is a priority?
