Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Education and Training) (15:04): The biggest beneficiaries of our childcare reforms are the lowest income families. The biggest beneficiaries are the hardest working families because what we are doing is increasing the level of childcare subsidy to the lowest income Australian families. We're better targeting support—in terms of the hours of child care that are available—to the hardest working Australian families. We've put in place a mechanism to keep a lid on fee increases in the future. We are investing significantly more in child care. It will be around $37 billion of support—an increase as a result of our reforms of around $2.5 billion targeted at those low- and middle-income families—because we want to empower people to be able to make a decision, a choice, about when to work and how much to work without childcare costs being an impediment on the decisions for their family to guarantee that they are confident they can access high quality early education and to make sure that we give that access to those who need it most. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Before I call the Attorney-General, I will add to my remarks in response to Senator Cameron's point of order and the supplementary point of order, if I could put it that way, from Senator Wong. I didn't want to hold up question time—and just as well I didn't, otherwise the opposition would have lost a question. I will add that, if questions that are asked are shorter, sharper and more direct, it is far easier for me to make an instant adjudication as to whether the minister has been directly relevant or not. Of course, it's entirely up to the questioner as to how long they wish their question to be and how many components the question has. Finally, could I add that, as I have done in the past and as I will continue to do in the future, if ministers are not directly relevant to the question asked, the minister will be reminded of the question. I wanted to add those remarks without taking up time in question time.
