Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:02): I thank Senator Stewart for her question. We are fortunate on this side to have so many women gracing the Labor ranks and in this chamber. We are also fortunate to have the Minister for Women and the Minister for Finance, Senator Katy Gallagher, who has made clear the importance of ensuring women's economic security. That is what our government has been doing—working to ensure women have economic security through both our policies and our investments. Our tax cuts will provide greater relief to low- and middle-income taxpayers, who are disproportionally women. From 1 July, women will receive— Senator Hughes interjecting— Senator WONG: The senator opposite might like to know that the women who perhaps voted for her will receive bigger tax cuts under the tax cuts we proposed. Women will receive an average tax cut of $1,649, nearly $400 more than they would have received under those opposite. Treasury modelling suggests Labor's tax cuts will also boost participation, which is an important thing for women across this country and the economy. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: They don't like that either. We are investing $4.7 billion to make child care cheaper and more accessible— Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator McKenzie! Senator Hughes interjecting— The PRESIDENT: And Senator Hughes! Senator WONG: Again, you don't like that. What it does is it gives more families more choice about how they balance work and care. We are investing $1.9 billion over five years to expand the eligibility— Senator McKenzie interjecting— Senator Hughes interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Senator Hughes interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Hughes! I called you on at least four occasions, and you kept being disorderly. That is incredibly disrespectful to the President. When I call you to order, that is exactly what I expect you to do—to come to order and to cease interjecting. Minister, do you wish to continue? Senator WONG: I do wish to continue, and I would hope Senator Hughes would be happy at the improved economic position of women as a consequence of the government's policies. I would hope that she would think it is a good thing to increase paid parental leave. I would hope she thinks it is a good thing to make paid parental leave flexible and accessible. I would also hope—it is a good thing—that all of us would support the government's work to tackle gender based violence. The strategy for gender equality which was set out last year had this as one of its key priorities. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Stewart, first supplementary?
