Senator PAYMAN (Western Australia) (14:52): My question is to Minister Watt, representing the Minister for Early Childhood Education. We know that hardworking Australians are doing it tough and the cost of living is putting pressure on household budgets. We also know that women face many barriers in reaching economic equality and closing the gender pay gap, both fundamental to reaching a fairer, more prosperous and more resilient economy. How are Labor's tax cuts helping workers in female dominated industries like the early childhood education sector?
