I am not going to speak to the point of order. In terms of a direct answer to the question, which is only a very small part of what we are talking about, the Treasury report actually indicates that, as a percentage of disposable income, the cost of child care has not gone up. People who come into this place should read those reports very carefully and not try to slice out little parts of them to suit themselves.

Those on the other side support the notional policy that they are going to make it much easier to find out where the vacancies are. There will be 600 new lists in local governments across the place. That is going to make it easier! Six hundred new places to call. There is an answer to this and it is very simple and it exists today. Ring the hotline, 1800370305—sorry, 1800670305. That is the number.
