(b) the modelling used to calculate the above total, including using other income cameos;

(c) a breakdown of the data used to calculate the Government's claims, published on 3 February 2025, that more than 100,000 families across Australia will have access to more subsidised care, and more than 66,000 families will be better off with changes to provide 3 days of subsided childcare; and
