Economists are raising concerns about the implications of One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's recent remarks regarding paid parental leave and childcare.
Hanson appears to suggest that women should not receive payment from employers during maternity leave, a position that could have significant repercussions for working mothers.
Additionally, her call for family income splitting has sparked debate about its potential to regress progress made in gender equality and support for families.
