Ms MACKLIN (Jagajaga—Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs) (15:04): I thank the member for Blair for his question and all the work he does for the families and pensioners in his electorate. It is the case that this Labor government is doing everything we possibly can to make sure that jobs are created. We are managing the economy in the interests of jobs. On this side of the House we know that the most important thing for any child is to see mum or dad, or both, going out to work every day and bringing home a pay packet every week. Those 700,000 extra jobs that have been created by this Labor government have meant so much to those families and to the children in them. We also recognise that there are many pensioners who want to work and it is this Labor government that has introduced a new work bonus to support those pensioners on the age pension who want to work. Just today, we have introduced changes that will encourage people who are on the disability support pension to take on work or do more hours. It is this Labor government that has made sure that we do everything we can to help those households make ends meet, whether it is with the cost of child care by increasing the childcare rebate from 30 per cent to 50 per cent to help with out-of-pocket costs. It is this Labor government that has helped with the cost of teenagers. Those on the other side of the House seem to think that the cost of teenagers goes down when they hit 16. Of course, those on the other side are totally out of touch with the real life of working families and it is this government that has made sure that we have provided additional assistance to families of teenagers, increasing family tax benefits by up to $4,200 a year per child, to help those families with the cost of children and to make sure that those children are encouraged to stay on at school. What a contrast we see from those opposite. What is it that we know that this Leader of the Opposition can absolutely be guaranteed to do? We know there is one thing he can be guaranteed to do, and that is to give a tax cut to some of the wealthiest people in Australia. The other thing he can be guaranteed to do is to claw back money from the pockets of pensioners and the pockets of families. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The minister will return to the question and be directly relevant. Mr Albanese: Mr Speaker, on a point of order: the conduct of the opposition today has been disorderly from two o'clock through to 10 past three. There are only a couple of minutes to go. Is it possible that they could behave? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will resume his seat. The minister will return to the despatch box and will be directly relevant to the specifics of the question. Ms MACKLIN: Thank you very much, Mr Speaker, I certainly will. I will once again go to one of the other big Labor reforms that we have introduced and that is benefiting so many families around Australia, and that is the introduction of our first national Paid Parental Leave scheme. We have 130,000 families that are now benefiting as a result of this Labor government's commitment. (Time expired) The SPEAKER: The honourable member for Blair was on his feet first. Mr Neumann: A supplementary, Mr Speaker. Ms Julie Bishop: Mr Speaker! The SPEAKER: I will listen to what the Deputy Leader of the Opposition is putting to me. Ms Julie Bishop: Mr Speaker, the minister was still on her feet answering when I stood up, and I am now seeking your call. It is the custom that the coalition have the next question. I have been on my feet. The SPEAKER: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume her seat. She does not have the call. The member for Blair is seeking to ask a supplementary to the question he asked, and I am going to listen to the member for Blair to see if his supplementary is allowable.
