Those supporting increased paid parental leave know that we can afford it and we can afford it now. We can afford to increase the length of leave and the rate of payment, and pay superannuation on it. Rather than give a $9,000 tax cut to the 227 politicians in this building and to the very well off, we can redirect stage 3 tax cuts to the parents who need it most. Will you set aside the stage 3 tax cuts and instead improve paid parental leave?
