INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:56): I have a supplementary question. Will the government be making a submission to the federal member for Melbourne's work-life balance bill inquiry that is currently underway in the federal parliament?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:56): I have not been notified whether or not we have. That is left up to SafeWork SA, which does a magnificent job in working with work-life balance issues. But I will discuss that with them and ask them what is their intention and, if that is not the case, I would encourage them to do so.
