This is consistent with the Government's work to ensure fair remuneration, free from historical, often gendered norms. This includes the area of work on pay parity, as has already been discussed at length in relation to this bill, but also this Government's work on pay equity. Members will recall the Government's work on amending the Equal Pay Act to ensure claims of equal pay for work of equal value can be made in this country, allowing traditional female workforces to finally be paid what they are worth. Early childhood teachers are a predominantly female workforce and deserve pay parity.
