The Greens will not be supporting Senator Fielding’s amendments. Although I might have put my concerns in different words than Senator Joyce used, and although I come from a different perspective on this issue, I could not agree more with him. This legislation is meant to be a historic opportunity for us to deliver support to working mums in particular but Senator Fielding has taken the debate down to the level of dirty politics. As far as I am concerned, there is no way we should consider Senator Fielding’s rabid right-wing views any further.
