STATEMENTS BY SENATORS

Senator TYRRELL (Tasmania) (13:59): Last year, the Fair Work Commission found workers in female orientated industries have been underpaid and undervalued. Since coming to government, the Albanese Labor government has made women's economic security a priority. Today the government announced that it will fund significant wage rises for care sector workers.

That is an amazing thing for the women of Australia. Labor will do more for the women of Australia.
