My question is to the Minister for Human Services. I refer to the minister’s statement this morning:

We will not be allowing providers to kick out a child to make available a place for Centrelink ... I reject the claim that we will be squeezing out other families.

Isn’t it a fact that clause 7.3.12 of the request for tender document says:

The contractor must invoke the one month notice to vacate requirement if the place is required by a Centrelink family.

Was the tender document withdrawn from the minister’s website to cover up the fact that the minister is wrong and has misled Australian parents?
