Hon JULIE ANNE GENTER (Minister for Women): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I'm very proud of the work that I have done alongside of my ministerial colleagues in this Government to support women in employment during this term. We have amended the Equal Pay Act to rewrite the rules so workers in women-dominated sectors can get paid what they deserve. We've extended paid parental leave by six weeks. We significantly increased the pay for workers in female-dominated workforces, like midwives, nurses, teacher-aides, care workers, and mental health and addiction support workers. We've reduced the imbalance in pay between men and women in the public sector, resulting in the biggest improvements since data collection began. Women now make up 50 percent of public sector leadership roles. We've made flexible work the default in the public sector. We're on track to fill 50 percent of public sector board positions with women by 2021, and we've introduced domestic violence leave to support survivors so they won't be at risk of losing their job while they're dealing with a violent situation.
