No move on paying super to people on paid parental leave

But so far, the government has not moved on paying superannuation to parents (mostly women) on paid parental leave.

Super, of course, is really important and it's something we would very much like to look to in the future when the budget can afford it. But this is a very big step forward, the current arrangements, but we'll continue to look around superannuation into the future and consider it in each budget context.

I think with the reserved period as well, we're going to see an increase in shared care, both parents taking some time out, which is really, really important if we want to get a more equal burden of, you know, of that share of care.

So that is really important as well.
