My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Brandis. AusAID's guiding principles for Australia's aid program state:

… that access to family planning is one of the most cost effective approaches to reducing maternal and child mortality.

Will the government's $4.5 billion cut to the aid program reduce Australia's assistance for family planning in developing countries?
