Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Setting Gender Equality Targets) Bill 2024

Senator WALSH (Victoria) (13:29): I rise to speak on the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Setting Gender Equality Targets) Bill 2024. Labor believes equality for women is not just an add-on or afterthought but absolutely fundamental to our economy and to our society. This is what happens when your government reflects the society that it serves.

We are very proud to be the first gender-equal government in Australia's national history— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Polley ): The time has expired. We will now move to two-minute statements.
