I thank the member for Forde for his question. The member for Forde knows all about typical Australian families. He represents many of them in his own electorate. It may come as a surprise to those opposite, who have made a lot of references to 'typical Australian families' in this place over the last couple of days, that the typical Australian family is one that earns just over $100,000 as a family. Both parents are working, too. They have two children. It may, again, come as a great surprise to those opposite that about 30 per cent of them have children under the age of five. That is the typical Australian family.
