My question is to the Prime Minister. I draw the Prime Minister’s attention to the response given by the Leader of the House this morning on the 2UE Steve Price program to a question. The question in relation to the payments for carers and seniors was this: ‘So the commitment is that the $1,600 carers allowance and the $500 pensioners bonus will be paid as cash this financial year.’ The response by the leader of government business was: ‘No, that’s not the commitment.’ Prime Minister, will the 400,000 Australian carers and the two million seniors receive their lump sum cash bonus this financial year?
