My question is to the Prime Minister. Why did the Prime Minister just before question time claim to the Australian people that No Jab, No Pay was not an incentive scheme to improve child immunisation rates?

This is an important initiative aimed at boosting childhood immunisation rates.

Given the legal consequences of a second reading speech, was he wrong then or today?
