My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has famously said:

Providing more government benefits to employed mothers than to stay-at-home ones is not only unfair but it's going to strike many people as an attack on the traditional family.

In light of his own famous comments, why is the Prime Minister cutting $6,000 to family payments and why is he slashing childcare assistance to stay-at-home mums?
