In other words, you have made this claim and you cannot actually tell us. You just want people out there to believe that some people are still going to receive an increase. In the second reading speech you also talked about $5.5 billion being saved from the family tax benefit changes over the medium term. I presume that is factoring in the fact that family payments will not increase as much as they would have done over that period. What term do you mean by 'the medium term', and is the $5.5 billion correct?
