Mr TUDGE (Aston—Minister for Education and Youth) (14:50): On this side of the House we firmly believe in choice. If families want to use the childcare system, they can; if they want to have a stay-at-home parent, they can. In some instances, parents don't have that choice, because both parents need to go into the workforce. In that instance, we need to provide affordable quality child care. That's exactly what this government has been doing. We've increased childcare subsidies by 77 per cent since we came to office. In the most recent budget, we added an additional $1.7 billion of subsidy, particularly targeting families with two or more children in child care. Why is that? Because, if you have two or more children in child care, that's where the cost really start to add up. It's a targeted approach. It will help 250,000 families across the country. My question to those opposite, who are interjecting and shouting out— The SPEAKER: Minister, you don't get to ask questions; you only get to answer them. Mr TUDGE: I put this to the opposition: will you back our legislation which we will be introducing— The SPEAKER: No. The minister— Mr TUDGE: I will re-state this. Tomorrow we will be introducing legislation to enact these additional new changes which will benefit 250,000 families. I will be looking for support from those opposite for this bill. Declare where you will stand, because 250,000 families rely on the support of this bill to get through this parliament.
