I rise to correct an answer that I gave earlier today during question time.

Before we go on, does the minister claim to be misrepresented?

No, I am rising to correct the record. Under Labor's cost-of-living tax cuts, an early childhood educator earning $46,000 a year will receive a tax cut of $829, as opposed to a $25 tax cut under the previous Morrison plan. And an early childhood teacher earning $69,000 a year will receive a tax cut of $1,404, which is more than double the $600 they would have received under the Morrison plan.
