I thank Senator Green for that and, again, for advocating for the economic opportunities for women in this country. We know that the economic opportunities for this country going forward—the jobs, the technology and all of that—rely on utilising all of our labour capacity, and that involves 50 per cent women. We don't want to see women locked out of opportunities or be having to retrofit a gender segregated workforce after it happens. So we have been putting investment behind programs, such as the Building Women's Careers Program, to support more women to train in jobs in male dominated industries.
