My question is to the Treasurer and Acting Prime Minister. Can the Treasurer confirm that under his budget the tax cuts for 900,000 women earning under $21,600 will not be paid until they submit their tax returns, after July 2007? Treasurer, why should these women, many of whom are mums returning to work, have to wait a year for any tax relief to help with out-of-pocket child-care costs?
