My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister provide a clear commitment to Australian parents with children in child care, a guarantee not to cut childcare payments they receive over the next three years?

My commitment to the Leader of the Opposition is that we will fully honour our election commitment. That is what we will do. We will fully honour our election commitments. I know that members opposite are flabbergasted at that, absolutely flabbergasted, because they have never honoured any election commitment.
On that note, Madame Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
