QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WHITEAKER (Western Australia) (14:05): My question is to the Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. In one week's time, our Paid Parental Leave scheme will reach a full 26 weeks, the biggest expansion of the scheme in its history. Can the minister outline why the Albanese Labor government has prioritised investment in women's economic security, in particular in paid parental leave, since coming to government?
