I would like to formally withdraw the amendment that has been circulated by me on behalf of the Greens. This was an amendment that was circulated some 12 months ago and it was going to amend this legislation to ensure that we could deliver fortnightly payments in order to ensure that parents could access the child care rebate fortnightly as opposed to quarterly. But of course since this amendment has been circulated the government has introduced a separate piece of legislation to do exactly that. Thankfully, this place has been able to pass that legislation so parents can access that. It started as of 1 July this year. So there is no need for the amendment, and I formally withdraw it.
