Hon JAN TINETTI: Under this Government, New Zealand has made significant progress on the gender pay gap and pay equity. For example, with the Gender Pay Gap Action Plan, we've delivered the biggest drop in the Public Service gender pay gap in 17 years. It's now at 9.6 percent, the lowest ever recorded. We've passed the Equal Pay Amendment Act, enshrining in law the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. This will deliver significant pay increases to female-dominated workforces and will make sure women are paid fairly. We have achieved the highest ever representation of women in several important areas in Parliament, reached our target of 50 percent women in public sector boards and committees, and 53 percent in public sector senior leadership roles. We've also increased paid parental leave from 22 to 26 weeks so that parents can make choices about balancing paid work and caring responsibilities, introduced leave for people who have experienced miscarriage, and introduced domestic violence leave.
