Children's entertainer Simon Pryce is taking a stand on an issue he says impacts many families across Australia, urging the federal government to take action.

The Wiggles star, 51, told The Daily Telegraph on Monday that welcoming his son Asher in 2021 made him understand the importance of paid parental leave for fathers.
