My question is to the Prime Minister. Recent analysis shows that those who take time off work to have children will pay around $120,000, in today's dollars, for an accounting degree, including about $45,000 in interest, which would now take 36 years to pay off. Will the Prime Minister guarantee that women who take time off to have children will not be paying off their university degrees for the next 36 years as a result of the Prime Minister's broken promise?
