Senator CASH (Western Australia—Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women) (14:58): As the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women, I believe that a government's commitment to women is reflected in the policies and the benefits that a government delivers. Look at those on the other side: when they had a female Prime Minister, she of course was knifed by none other than the now Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Senator Wong. So much for standing up for the sisterhood, Senator Wong. We have a former government that introduced a paid parental leave scheme. But what did they fail to do? They failed to include superannuation in their paid parental leave scheme. That clearly shows that it was not a government that is dinkum when it comes to delivering policies for women. On top of that, let us look at the level of debt that the former failed finance minister—again, Senator Wong—delivered to the women of Australia. In 2007, when the former government came to office, there was zero debt. What did this government deliver by way of a policy that did not have a benefit— Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order on direct relevance. The minister was asked specifically whether she agreed with comments by Ms Gambaro about the number of women in the cabinet. That is the question. I would like you to draw her attention to the question. The PRESIDENT: The minister has 44 seconds left to answer and I draw her attention to the question. Senator CASH: I was getting to the Prime Minister, when he was the Leader of the Opposition, telling the Australian people about the shadow cabinet that we would be taking to the election and the fact that at that time it included two women. He said, 'Because of the level of debt that we are going to inherit from the other side, we believe that we require experience.' Our now cabinet has 15 ministers who were in the former Howard government ministry. What do all those ministers have in common? They paid off the former Labor government's debt from 1996 to 2007.
