Ms Sonya Lennon:

Among parents of pre-school children, 40% of women feel impacted compared with 16% of men. Again, the normalisation of sharing duties is key.

Going back to the point about recruitment, when careers begin recruiters will say that there is a bias against women as being the child-bearing gender. That is a fact of life, as the Senator said. What can we do to look at the parental leave structure so that a man might be as likely as a woman to take time off? That involves looking again to the Shangri-la of the Nordics and how they do it, which would definitely be worth considering. I will ask Ms Smith to speak about personal experience.
