22387 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: What analysis, if any, has Treasury conducted on the social and economic effects of not settling pay equity claims, particularly for lower-income women?

Hon Nicola Willis: The Treasury has not provided any advice on the social and economic impacts of not settling any pay equity claims. The amended Equal Pay Act 1972 still provides a framework for pay equity claims to proceed.
