Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (10:17): Just to be clear about why we're moving this motion, it's to allow for the passage of Baby Priya's bill by one o'clock today. If we hadn't had that 15 minutes, we would have got into the bill. We're allowing for three hours— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong? Senator Wong: Senator Canavan was heard in silence by this side of the chamber. I request that Minister Gallagher be afforded the same courtesy. The PRESIDENT: I remind senators—Senator Canavan, you were heard in silence, and Minister Gallagher will be heard in silence as well. Senator GALLAGHER: To allow for three hours of debate, allowing all senators to participate in that on this important bill—just to be clear, this bill is actually about amending the Fair Work Act, and it only relates to employer funded paid parental leave if a child is stillborn or dies. Its origins are in the parents of Baby Priya, who lived for six weeks after her birth, and, when she passed away, her mother's parental leave was cancelled by her employer. She had worked there for 11 years, and her father's parental leave continued. Those very brave parents felt that it was unfair that the mother lost her parental leave, and this bill responds to that. It recognises that the loss of a baby is devastating for parents and that, if there's a way to respond, in Baby Priya's name and with the bravery of her parents, to seek legislative reform that would allow a mother, in the exact same experience as what's Baby Priya's mother endured, to grieve and to have an entitlement to grieve through that period of what would have been her parental leave—that's what this bill is about. We believe three hours is plenty of time for senators who would like to participate, just as Senator Canavan and others have, but let's not lose focus on what the bill actually is. I know there has been a fair bit of attention about what this bill is not. But this bill is about amending the Fair Work Act so that where parental leave exists for parents in the private sector—not related to Commonwealth paid parental leave, which doesn't cancel in those circumstances—parents will be entitled to continue to receive parental leave. That's what the bill's about. And, if passage isn't completed by one o'clock, that still will have been three hours of debate for this chamber. I move: That the question be now put. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Minister Gallagher—that the question be put—be agreed to.
