During question time, in a question from the Leader of the Opposition to the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition quoted a question from Steve Price and the answer from me. He quoted the following question: ‘So the commitment is that the $1,600 carers allowance and the $500 pensioners bonus will be paid as cash this financial year?’ The Leader of the Opposition stopped there, Mr Speaker. He was able to read on but he chose not to read the full question, which ended with ‘and for how many years ahead?’ That was the question that I answered.
