My question is to Senator Abetz. I refer to data released by the Department of Social Services that shows the Prime Minister's Paid Parental Leave Scheme would overwhelmingly disadvantage National Party electorates, as compared to Liberal Party electorates. Does this not demonstrate that the Prime Minister's Paid Parental Leave Scheme only serves to exacerbate the inequality between rural and urban Australia?
