George Christensen (Dawson, National Party) Share this | Hansard source

Members in this place from the opposition, both in question time and the MPI, and also in the press, have falsely accused me of saying within the government party room that working women were outsourcing parenting. That is false. What I said to the government party room in a statement that was supportive of both increased childcare funding and also more funding for so-called stay-at-home parents, was that I made reference to the term 'outsourcing care'. That's not a pejorative term but exactly what childcare centres provide for both parents—not just women: outsourced care for children.
