Hon JAN TINETTI: Under Labour, New Zealand has made significant progress towards gender equality. In addition to the progress we've made on closing the gender pay gap, we've passed the Equal Pay Amendment Act, enshrining in law the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. This is delivering significant pay increases for female-dominated workforces and to make sure women are paid fairly. We've also settled significant pay equity claims. We've achieved the highest ever representation of women in several important areas, including reaching our target of 50 percent of women in public sector boards and 53 percent in public sector senior leadership roles. We've increased paid parental leave from 22 to 26 weeks; through MP Ginny Andersen's member's bill, we've introduced miscarriage and domestic violence leave; we've reintroduced the training incentive allowance; and we've achieved the highest ever recorded rate of female employment.
