Mr President, I have a supplementary question. I refer to the minister's response in relation to freedom and ask him this question: given that Senator Macdonald has today said that his inclination is to vote against the Prime Minister's Paid Parental Leave Scheme and Senators Smith, Bernardi, Boswell and Williams have also expressed grave reservations, does the Prime Minister's scheme in fact have the full support of the government party?
