Senator XENOPHON (South Australia) (11:59): by leave—I move: Omit subparagraph (d)(ii). I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator XENOPHON: I support what Senator Madigan is attempting to do here with this motion. I think it is a very worthy motion. I am concerned about subparagraph (d)(ii) as to the implications of equal childcare funding for all children, whether they are cared for by a parent in their home or through childcare places for parents who choose to return to work. I think that the concerns of Senator Madigan are expressed in particularly (c) and (d)(i) of the motion. I have some concerns—and it is not a criticism of Senator Madigan at all—as to what the implications would be of equal childcare funding and how that would work. But I think what Senator Madigan is trying to do is very important in acknowledging the role of families and their being entitled to receive tax benefits to compensate for the cost of raising children. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Xenophon be agreed to. Question agreed to. The PRESIDENT: The question now is that the motion, as amended, be agreed to.
