The Best Mother’s Day Gift? Paid Parental Leave

Friday, 13 May 2016 - 9:00am

Please, no scented candles or toasters for Elizabeth Hill this Mother’s Day. What she really wants — what all Australian mothers want — is better paid parental leave, affordable childcare and a ramp at her local train station.

Last Sunday was my 15th Mother’s Day. To mark my first in 2001, I wrote an opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald suggesting that the best Mother’s Day gift would be paid parental leave, affordable childcare, ramps and lifts in public spaces. No bunches of white chrysanthemums or fluffy pink slippers for me!
