Families Must Come Before Politics on Parental Leave
The Australian Greens have urged the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader to set aside election year politicking to help deliver proper paid parental leave, according to Green Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.
Senator Hanson-Young, Greens spokesperson on the Status of Women, says it is vital that all sides of politics co-operate to ensure that there is a paid parental scheme in place before the next federal election.
"It is reassuring to see how far we have come in twelve months on paid parental leave,'' Senator Hanson-Young said.
