Today in question time the Treasurer claimed that I said that the $600 family tax benefit supplement has no monetary value. This is incorrect. It is a lie that has been repeated by the Treasurer in this parliament; and I have had cause to get up and correct it before. I seek leave to table the family assistance legislation amendment bill which was introduced after the 2004 election. The purpose of this legislation was to restore indexation provisions.
