My question is to the Minister for Social Services. I refer to the minister's previous answer, and I quote:

… we have invested all of the money that we are saving from the family tax benefit system.

But, under its policy, the government is cutting $2.7 billion in family payments and only spending $1.6 billion on its childcare policy. Is the minister aware he was misleading the Australian people, or is he just plain incompetent?
