The injustice that was introduced with the 2012 changes needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. I recognise that the Minister has prepared a report on it. We need a clear timeline and roadmap for how things will be corrected. Every week people are losing out on income and every week more people are being hit by those cuts. It needs to happen sooner rather than later. I understand that the report will be brought to the Cabinet sub-committee tomorrow. In the event that the committee is not satisfied with it, will she publish it?

When the Minister requested that report, did she focus only on the people who will become eligible in future or did she also focus on the people who have already been hit by these cuts going back to 2012? In requesting that report, did she also ask for homemakers to be taken into consideration? A clear roadmap needs to be set out in the interests of those hit by the 2012 cuts.
