The coalition supports the Greens’ amendment to change to fortnightly payments. I note that the infrastructure should already be in place, given that Centrelink already makes fortnightly payments. The Labor Party themselves committed to change to fortnightly payments, I think on page 6 of the Labor Party policy document, after the childcare management system was in place. But, although that is in place, the government have not moved to do so.
