My question is to the Prime Minister. Rose is 47. She's a single mother of two, and she lost her job in March. Her daughter has cystic fibrosis. Rose says, 'You buy two loaves of bread and two cartons of milk, and you wonder whether it will last a fortnight. I've never had to do that before. My kids miss out and it's not fair.' Why has the Prime Minister racked up a trillion dollars worth of Liberal debt but left women like Rose behind?
