I take the point that the Deputy Prime Minister has made, but I think she misunderstood my question. If you are in approved care you get the childcare benefit and the childcare rebate, but if you are in registered care you only get the childcare benefit. There are some people who are in registered care and who are getting the benefit currently at the minimum rate, which could be up to about $25 a week per child, but who will no longer get anything as a result of the means tests that the government put in place in the budget. I am asking the minister how many people are in that position.
