Senator JOHNSTON (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (15:00): I thank the senator for his question. All dependants who were eligible young persons immediately before the death, whether wholly, mainly or partly dependent, receive a tax-free lump sum compensation payment of $81,367.49 and education assistance under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act Education and Training Scheme, while they remain an eligible young person. Education assistance includes an education allowance of $251.30 per year for primary school students and up to $421 per fortnight for secondary or tertiary students. This information is of course all available on the Defence website. If the eligible young person was wholly, mainly or partly dependent— Senator Farrell: I rise on a point of order, Mr President. The minister is referring to a different payment. I am referring to a payment that is in relation to the MRRT legislation. The PRESIDENT: That is a debating point. Senator Ronaldson: I rise on a point of order, Mr President. I am happy for question time to be extended to allow the shadow minister to ask the proper minister this question if he would like to do so. The PRESIDENT: That is not a point of order. Senator Johnston has taken the question. Senator Johnston, you have got one minute and six seconds remaining. Senator JOHNSTON: As I was saying, if the eligible young person was wholly, mainly or partly dependent on the member or former member, while they remain an eligible young person they can also receive a weekly payment of $135.34; a gold repatriation health card, providing free medical care; and an MRCA supplement of $6.20 per fortnight. The payment that the senator refers to was tied to the mining tax, a tax that raised no money, a tax that actually cost taxpayers money. The brilliance of the previous government was such that they introduced a tax that actually raised no revenue and cost the taxpayer a motza. I do not think in the history of our country we have ever seen a more incompetent government, which would introduce a tax that actually raised no revenue and cost the taxpayer money and then sought to tie a whole lot of benefits to it, to rub salt into the wound. Of course, the senator does not understand any of that.
