I am proud of the Gillard government's record of support for families. I am proud that we have delivered Australia's first national Paid Parental Leave scheme, benefiting more than 250,000 parents so far. I am proud that we have increased the childcare rebate from 30 to 50 per cent of out-of-pocket costs and that we have delivered income tax cuts to workers earning up to $80,000.

But, ultimately, families need more to secure a brighter future for their kids. That is why Labor is building infrastructure like the National Broadband Network; that is why we are building a world-class education system through a National Plan for School Improvement; and that is why we are building a National Disability Insurance Scheme.
