The principle underlining our public policy should be family friendly. I was interested in what Senator Cox said in regard to female public representatives and maternity leave. I am sure Senator Cox and other parents, particularly mothers, will agree that ours is the most family unfriendly professions in which to be. The political establishment has absolutely no intention of making it anything other than that. I will be interested to hear the Minister of State's response to the query raised by Senator Cox, which was valuable and which gets to the core of the issue.
