Thank you, Madam Acting Deputy President. Any subsequent children that come into a parenting payment recipient's care will not be covered by the grandparented provisions. This will mean that all parenting payment recipients will be treated with a degree of equality not available to them previously. I indicate the coalition is not opposed to this bill.
