Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Nationals Whip in the Senate and Minister for Northern Australia) (14:23): I am happy to have an opportunity to talk about how important stay-at-home parents are and how importantly the coalition views stay-at-home parents. I can see Senator Bullock over there also indicating how grateful he is for me to have this opportunity. What is government policy is our commitment to boost payments to stay-at-home parents with a child below the age of one who receive family tax benefit A. That is a policy that the Labor Party— Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order, and it is on direct relevance to the question. Senator McLucas asked particularly about the introduction of income splitting in the interests of families in northern Australia and whether that is government policy. I am not sure whether we got any answer at all on that issue. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Moore. I remind the minister of the question and indicate that he has 27 seconds in which to answer. Senator CANAVAN: The submission that Senator McLucas referred to was a submission to our tax reform process, and the government is still considering its response to that. I hope it does—and I am sure it does—consider my suggestions on that matter. But I am confident that the only side of politics in this chamber that has the interests of stay-at-home parents at heart is this side. That side are completely ignoring them.
