My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister confirm that lump-sum payments to carers and older Australians will be tax free and not treated as income in calculating their social security payments?
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
I am happy to provide that guarantee.
