My question is to the Prime Minister. Given the Treasurer has overseen the linking of the childcare package to cuts to family payments, the delay of the childcare changes, the linking of the omnibus bill to budget repair then to the childcare changes and finally to the NDIS, and today the splitting of the childcare changes and the family payment cuts, does the Prime Minister continue to have confidence in his Treasurer?

I thank the honourable member for her question. The Treasurer is doing an outstanding job, and I have enormous confidence in his ability and that of every member of my ministry.
