My question is to the Minister for Social Services. Bronte works part time and is a single mother of three children in Mount Barker in South Australia. She says: 'I'm really concerned about how my family will cope financially if the proposed family tax benefits cuts come into effect. We are only just floating now.' How could the government possibly compensate Bronte for a 15 per cent GST if it has just cut her family payments by $4,700?
