The Government says its new tough rules for pay equity claims will result in major taxpayer savings.

The proposed law, which would lift the threshold of pay equity claims of gender-discrimination, is expected to have its third reading this morning.

It's caused an uproar, with many women and union groups opposed to the idea.

Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking she can't yet disclose the exact financial impact.

However she says the Crown will save billions of dollars, if passed.
