With respect to the portion of the question that dealt with paid parental leave, what the Labor Party presently does not support with respect to paid parental leave—that is to say, the government's proposition and policy with respect to paid parental leave—is near to 60 per cent of all families who receive paid parental leave having a very substantial average gain of $1,300 during the period of paid parental leave. That is what you are opposing. That group of 58 per cent, which is 96,310 recipients, is the lowest income earners inside the paid parental leave system.
