I thank Senator Hanson-Young for her supplementary question. I do not entirely follow Senator Hanson-Young's question, because Senator Hanson-Young said there would be no PPL. We have made it clear that all we are doing is preventing the capacity of people to, in effect, double dip. So, whenever there is already an employer provided scheme that is more generous than the government's PPL scheme, people have that employer supported scheme. If they do not have the benefit of an employer scheme then they will, as they do now, continue to have an entitlement to the government's Paid Parental Leave scheme.
