The government is investing a total of $1.2 billion over five years to expand the scheme to 26 weeks by 2026. It is the largest investment in PPL since Labor introduced it in 2011, and families will have access to more PPL than ever before. Our staged approach enables structural reform in a difficult fiscal environment. We do not support this.
