[Trusties] All the other kids are doing it

[Sarah-Jane McGrath]

Hi,

Did you know Australia is one of only two developed countries without paid maternity leave? 

I don't think that's acceptable, so I've just joined the campaign supporting a 6-12 month standard for paid parental leave. Living in the lucky country should mean that our children get the best possible start in life, and our leaders need to safeguard our nation's future prosperity by ensuring that we retain people in the workforce.

We are way behind international standards in paid parental leave, and it's high time we got with the program. The government is looking into this issue right now, so we must act quickly to make an impact for the benefit of our children, our families and our nation.

Will you join me in setting the standard?
