My question is to the Prime Minister. Dominique from Port Melbourne works in the higher education sector. She says that half of her pay after tax goes straight to child care for her two children, which is almost the same as the family's weekly mortgage payment. Why did the Prime Minister design a childcare scheme in which fees are so expensive that they cost almost as much as a family's mortgage?
