We Will Act To Build A Better

My Mum And Mad Were Both Very Generous, Encouraging Parents.

So, My Friends, In A Week Or So The Governor-general Will Swear In A New Government.

I Do Not Regard Myself As A Christian Politician. I Regard Myself As A Politician Who Just Happens To Think Religion Matters. I Would Be Appalled, Absolutely Appalled, To Think Religion Drove Anyone's Politics In A Secular Democracy Like Ours.

The Measure In The Budget In Relation To Parental Leave Pay Is Based On A Simple Proposition. Most Women Across Australia Have Access To One Scheme Funded By The Taxpayer. Some Women Have Access To Two Schemes And That's Great.

There'll Be Some Savings From Preventing Double Dipping By Public Servants Which Are Currently Able To Access Not One But Two Fully Tax Payer Funded Schemes And Of Course There Will Be Out Paid Parental Leave Levy. So All Up Not Only Is This An Important Economic Reform, An Important Reform To Have To Grow Our Economy More Strongly, It Also Will Leave The Budget Better Off Which Will Help Us Fix The Mess That Labor Has Created With The Budget.
