Tanya Plibersek (Sydney, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Childcare) Share this | Hansard source

Very briefly, while I appreciate that the minister is answering questions outside his portfolio responsibilities, I asked a number of quite specific questions, such as: is the $50 million going to be spent on spot checks or the new phone line? What will the government do when shortages are discovered? Who is going to bear the cost of the PIN card equipment? He did not have the information to hand, so I ask that the questions that have not been fully answered and those that have not been answered at all be taken on notice and responded to in writing when the minister has the chance.

Proposed expenditure agreed to.

Employment and Workplace Relations Portfolio

Proposed expenditure, $4,709,419,000.
