My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister would be aware that tomorrow is National Babies Day—an important initiative of the Bonnie Babes Foundation, which provides national 24-hour grief counselling services to Australian families who have lost a baby. Why won’t the Prime Minister provide the Bonnie Babes Foundation with the urgent $800,000 it needs to continue to be the only provider of 24-hour, seven-day a week free telephone counselling for mothers who have suffered tragic events like miscarriage or stillbirth?
