I would also like to talk on this report of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights and specifically mention the bills that Senator Smith raised that do not need any further examination. It is in light of some cheap political points that the opposition are attempting to score on child care. Just in case there is any ambiguity, the committee response to the very detailed evidence provided to the committee on the childcare bills from the assistant minister ends:

The committee thanks the Assistant Minister for Education—

Sussan Ley—

for her response. In light of the information received, the committee considers the measure to be compatible with human rights and has concluded its examination of the measure.

I commend the minister for her comprehensive response to the committee.

Question agreed to.
