My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the government's decision to cut $234,000 from the Mirabel Foundation, which provides services that help children abandoned by their parents due to drug addiction. CEO Jane Rowe says: 'These children have already been abandoned or orphaned by the parents. They won't be abandoned by Mirabel, but they can't be abandoned by their government.' Will the Prime Minister do the right thing and commit to funding the Mirabel Foundation?
