My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has chosen to splurge $5½ billion annually on a paid parental leave scheme which will give well-paid executives an extra $75,000 to have a baby. At the same time, the government will delay the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which will hurt 460,000 people with a disability and their families. Prime Minister, don't these choices reflect the government's twisted priorities?
