My question again is to the Prime Minister. Marlene Lamb turns 74 today. She is a grandparent carer in the electorate of Petrie who has cared for her 12-year-old daughter since she was four due to tragic circumstances. Marlene writes:

How the hell will I manage if I lose $100 a fortnight because of this government's cuts to Family Tax Benefit Part B?

Does the Prime Minister agree that grandparent carers like Marlene should lose $100 a fortnight?
