My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to government plans to cut much-needed support for Australian families—to abolish the Schoolkids bonus, the income support bonus and the low-income super contribution. Can the Prime Minister explain why on one hand it is the government's priority to cut the benefits to families, to low-income retirees and Newstart recipients, but on the other hand it is their priority to give further tax breaks to some of the richest corporations in the world?
