Federal Budget

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:06): Was it similarly cruel or differently cruel when the Gillard-Rudd government cut payments to single parents?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:07): I just really am gobsmacked that a solid South Australian like Tammy Franks, who gets up and I see her out and about regularly fighting for ordinary people—where is she on these issues? Where is she? She can hark back to the past, she can do that if she wants and to focus on all of these grievances from the past, but where are you now? These things are on the table now. You have an opportunity to fight for South Australia and South Australians now. Where are you? Where is your voice being heard?
