Why do we support this bill? In many cases, good and ethical employers already do this. They offer the leave to their employees. Therefore, this bill should not create any issue for anyone. In fact, we should all be pleased and happy with it. The refugee and migrant families that I come from tended to feel discouraged to ask for leave. Often they take up insecure and casualised work, which makes it really difficult for them. Employment arrangements to take leave is hard for them. This bill would ensure all parents have the opportunity to work in partnership with educators, supporters to support their child's educational success.
