We have 45 recommendations from the Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality that we regard as a blueprint for the achievement of gender equality. Many of the others address cultural issues, stereotyping in education and so on. We have had hearings on those issues. We want to focus very much on pay and workplace conditions and on the experience and expertise each of the organisations before us brings. I ask our guests to focus on that. I am conscious the WorkEqual representatives have not yet got to address domestic violence leave so with the permission of colleagues I will give Ms Lennon and Ms Smith an opportunity to do so before I move to Senator Higgins.
