He did not even go a minute! The question was longer than your answer. Maybe you should swap sides—in fact you probably will. Mr President, the supplementary question I have is: if the budget initiatives are designed to assist families to meet additional costs, such as petrol price increases, as the Prime Minister has argued, can the minister explain why single parent families are apparently immune to these cost increases and, in fact, in the government’s view, can live on even less?
