My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. Under the Morrison government's current childcare scheme a family with a full-time policeman and a physio working three days a week lose 91c in the dollar if the physio works the fourth and fifth days. Why is Mr Morrison refusing to support Labor's plan, which would see the same family more than $3,100 a year better off if they chose to work more hours?
