My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said yesterday:

We encourage employers and employees to negotiate agreements that best fit their particular needs.

So why is the Prime Minister punishing employees who have negotiated additional paid parental leave arrangements by cutting paid parental leave? Why does the Prime Minister want these employees to spend less time at home with their newborn babies?
