Budget 2009 for paid parental leave
Drawing on national consultations with women, NFAW has identified that Australian women strongly support immediate introduction of a national scheme of paid parental leave and welcomes news of action to be taken by the Federal Government to stimulate the economy, as this provides an ideal opportunity to announce that paid parental leave will be included in the 2009/10 budget.
