I also wanted to recognise the history of the bill, and I know members on both sides of the House have done that. The Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Act 2017 got to the Parliament because of the determination of one woman, Kristine Bartlett, and her supportive unions. She was a residential aged care worker. She lodged an application with the Employment Relations Authority, against the then National-led Government, that she was not receiving equal pay under the Equal Pay Act of 1972. She argued on behalf of care and support workers on poverty wages, between 2009 and 2012, saying that their work was undervalued because it was done by women. She won her case and, when it was appealed, she won again in the Court of Appeal. They found that support workers had been historically underpaid because they were women. Rather than have the courts dictate the wages of care and support workers, which they had done, had the Government not come to the table, the ex-finance Minister Bill English began negotiating support workers' wages with Bartlett's union, the Service and Food Workers Union, now part of E tū.
