Petition Presented in parliament
8,461 of you signed our petition to increase paid parental leave from 18 weeks to 26 weeks back in April of this year and on the 7th of September, Shane and I travelled to Canberra to be able to sit in the gallery while Zali Steggall presented this petition on our behalf. It is now on record within Parliament and we are thankful we were able to be there to witness this. Thank you to everyone who supported this petition by signing, sharing and making your voices heard.
Additionally, on Monday26th, Zali will be introducing a motion to start the debate on this topic. Thank you to her and her team for supporting us and this petition and for the Independents for pushing the Labor government to tackle this issue as women are truly tired of waiting for change.
