Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to the fact that as late as yesterday afternoon in this chamber the government had not convinced Senator Macdonald of the benefits of the Paid Parental Leave scheme. If the Prime Minister's Paid Parental Leave scheme is not supported by his own parliamentary colleagues, how can the government expect the Australian people to support it at all?
