Public servants in this town, public servants right around the country have access to generous taxpayer supported paid parental leave through their employers, and the member who asked the question wants them to double dip on the taxpayer. I want to see a decent and fair paid parental leave system and I want to know why members opposite think that there should be double-dipping on the taxpayer. It is not right, it should not happen and it will not happen under this government.
