Adopt family-friendly policies at workplace for increased growth

In May 2017, Larissa Waters, an Australian member of Parliament made headlines across the world when she breastfed her two-month old daughter in parliament.

She also became the first MP to benefit from the new “family friendly” rules effected in 2016 for Australian parliamentarians, that specifically allowed MPs who are breastfeeding to bring their children into parliament chambers. This was in stark contrast to an incident that had happened more than a decade earlier, where a female MP was ejected from the same parliament for breastfeeding her daughter in the chambers.
