          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE:</by>  Gender Indicators Online is a collaborative initiative involving the Office for Women, which provides a range of gender indicators on the status of women in South Australia. The resource builds on the statistical profile of women in South Australia released in 2004. The website suggests that it was last updated in 2010. The most up-to-date information on domestic violence orders, for example, is from 2004. I ask the minister: given the importance of information in gender analysis and policy development, does the government intend to maintain this web resource and, if not, at what point does the government intend to archive it?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:32):</by>  I thank the member for his question, but I am a bit curious. For those who may not be aware, Gender Indicators, Australia presents a summary of gender-specific data in six domains, looking at economic security, education, health, work and family balance, safety and justice, and democracy, governance and citizenship.</text>
        <text id="2014092300ffda021e644f5b80000073">The page was developed as a result of a working group established by the former commonwealth, state, territory and New Zealand ministers' conference on the status of women (the old MIMCO). I have advice here that the updated gender indicators page was released on 25 February 2014, with recent updates released on 26 August 2014. Both are available on the ABS website, so I refer the member to that website</text>
