My question is to the Minister for Justice. I refer to the disaster recovery payment provided by the former government to victims of natural disasters including victims of the Black Saturday fires and the Queensland floods. Why has the government cut emergency payments for bushfire victims? Isn't forcing them to face the Abbott axe the cruellest cut of all?
