My question is to the Treasurer. I refer to an FOI request about paid parental leave submitted to the Treasurer's office when he was social services minister. This request was rejected because it would have taken four days to consider the 550 pages of insults in which the Treasurer or his colleagues described working women as double dippers, fraudsters and rorters. Will he now apologise for describing working mums in such abusive and disrespectful terms?
