Ms Emily Logan:

We are talking about the broad interpretation of family life that we have expressed. I would not like to denigrate the conversation but we are talking about our experience. We have people around the commission table who have lived experience beyond the care work that we are talking about, from gender equality to substantial contribution to the public good. That is what we are talking about recognising. There are ways, of course, of creating a boundary on that. That is done already in the democratic process. As the Legislature does that already in respect of child benefit, maternity leave and social welfare, there is a precedent for creating a boundary or putting limits on something. Of course we accept limits would be put on it but our aspiration is to get that in.
