I am just saying: I was not the minister in the coalition government when childcare fees increased by 44 per cent. Furthermore, today both the assistant minister and many members opposite stated that I said that childcare fees would only ever increase by 57c per week. I have never said that. All I have done is to quote from independent modelling from Access Economics, which said that that would be increase in the first year, which is long past.
