A new bill to create more flexible parental leave.
National MP Nicola Willis's members' bill has been drawn from the biscuit tin for a proposal to allow a baby's parents to both take maternity leave, simultaneously or one at a time.
Willis says she's hoping for cross-party support, saying it's a simple legislative change to support families.
She says it's a total no brainer and parents should be able to take their leave when and how they need to.
