Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:31): No specific payment to veterans' families is being cut. This is simply untrue. Now for the— Mr Burke: If it assists the Prime Minister, there is a specific repeal instrument that deals exactly, exactly with what this question refers to. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The member will resume his seat. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr ABBOTT: The Veterans' Children Education Scheme continues, the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act Education and Training Scheme continues. Under these schemes, eligible secondary students aged between 16 and 25 and still living at home receive fortnightly non-means tested payments. Ms Macklin: Madam Speaker, I raise a point of order on relevance. The SPEAKER: We have already had a relevance. Ms Macklin: That was not on relevance. The SPEAKER: In that case, what was it? It was an abuse of standing orders. Ms MACKLIN: This one is on relevance. I draw the Prime Minister's attention to the question— The SPEAKER: I am sorry; I took the prior one as relevance. The member will resume her seat. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr ABBOTT: Under these schemes, eligible secondary students receive non-means tested payments of between $230.70 and $277.40 per fortnight. Students living independently can receive up to $421.40 per fortnight. Payments to orphans are up to $512 per fortnight. In addition to that, a special financial assistance payment of up to $4,000 a year is also payable and up to $2,000 in additional tuition fees can also be funded.

If I may say so, we were quite bold before the election, because we said that we were going to remove a payment that went to 1.2 million people. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There is too much noise on my left. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will desist. Mr ABBOTT: Maybe members opposite did not notice but we said that this particular payment that goes to 1.2 million people was going. So we were absolutely— Mr Champion interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Wakefield will remove himself under standing order 94(a). The member for Wakefield then left the chamber— Mr ABBOTT: We were absolutely up-front that the income support bonus was going. Ms Macklin: When did you tell people? Mr ABBOTT: Repeatedly. We also told— Mr Thistlethwaite interjecting— Mr ABBOTT: Maybe the Leader for the Opposition was out to lunch, but it was our policy to remove the income support bonus. The SPEAKER: The member for Kingsford Smith will desist. Mr ABBOTT: What we said we would do before the election we will do after the election. Ms Macklin: I seek leave to table a statement from the state president of the RSL who did not know about— The SPEAKER: I call the Leader of the House. Leave is not granted. The member for Dobell has the call.
