My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister really understand the anxiety that he and his government are causing to vulnerable carers? Will the Prime Minister give a guarantee to the 400,000 Australian carers that the annual lump sum payments will be delivered in the budget?
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
I give an absolute guarantee that those carers will not be a dollar worse off as a result of the budget.
