Senator Smith is right; this women's health package is part of a broader piece of work that the Albanese government has prioritised, whether it be in women's safety; in sharing and valuing care and the care economy; in women's wages; in access to paid parental leave; in women's health, with this incredibly important package; or in women's sport. We are coming to support women in every different way that we can, because we know that, when women get a fair opportunity, it's better for the whole economy.

Of course, having investments in Medicare and urgent care clinics is also really important, as is making sure that we see a stop in the fall in bulk-billing that we inherited from those opposite. These have all been an important part of our focus on women, because we know that, when women are supported in the economy, the economy does better overall.
