This is more evidence of the Leader of the Opposition talking first and thinking later. No costings, no detail, no time line—there is nothing in these few pages of ramblings from the Leader of the Opposition.

They want to know that they are going to get Labor’s paid parental leave scheme delivered on 1 January next year. They have been waiting for decades for this scheme. It is time the opposition delivered their support.
