I hope you’re all enjoying your hot breakfasts and are extremely grateful for them. For a couple of reasons: First- you didn’t have to cook them yourself, or, to be more precise, wash up all the dirty frying pans yourself. This is because you are working and you don’t have time to cook hot breakfasts for a particularly fussy group of consumers, your family.

After the Barbecue. Thank you for the opportunity to address your Work Life Balance Conference about, of course, work life balance. How quickly those words have become familiar to us, how rich they are in meaning, how endless the possibilities. Synonymous with the Prime Minister’s phrase “the barbecue stopper”, work life balance is a fashionable topic. It has been fashionable for a long time. Even a poor student of history must appreciate that industrialisation, in particular the separation of work from home, is the genesis of this particular question of balance.

With a couple of notable exceptions, such as being Indigenous and migrant and refugee women, Australia ranks among the leading countries in terms of women’s access and participation to education. I note however that education is still highly segregated in Australia, with comparatively fewer women completing degrees in sectors such as science, technology, engineering and maths.

When I first started to think about your conference title, “Exploring the Three E’s, Effectiveness, Efficiency and Equity”, I had to admit my first thought was why are we still talking about this? Why are the connections between these three outcomes still considered to be a matter of debate, why do we still need to make the case that equity is a legitimate concern?

Since the launch of my interim paper on this issue in April this year, there has been an overwhelming amount of public and political debate about the need or otherwise to introduce such a scheme in Australia.

I want to begin by acknowledging that we are gathered here on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal people and pay my respects to their elders past and present.

The debate about balancing work and family life goes beyond parental caring for children. In light of our ageing population, care for older family members and family members with an illness or disability is the next frontier in the work and family debate. Seen in the context of caring for family members across the lifecycle, the work and family ‘barbeque stopper’ emerges as a policy issue with far-reaching demographic, social and economic implications.
