Minister, last month I asked you why the Labor government wasn't abolishing the child care subsidy activity test, a cruel and punitive test that unfairly punishes low-income families and keeps women out of work. You replied that you're waiting for the Productivity Commission to release its final report. Well, today this report—a report that you've had since June—confirms the need to abolish the activity test. So I ask again: will you now commit to immediately abolishing the punitive activity test?
