That the house do now adjourn.

Gender-responsive budgeting

Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (03:22): (1545) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Women. Gender-responsive budgeting recognises that we still have work to do in our fight for equality. It ensures that impacts of government decisions on women are taken into account at every stage of the budget process, and it means that the issues that affect women and girls will be given a focus and funding. Minister, Victoria was the first jurisdiction in Australia to make gender-responsive budgeting law. My request is for you to provide me with more detail about how gender-responsive budgeting has benefited women in Victoria.
