Senator Gilroy is defending the indefensible, as usual, and talks out of both sides of his mouth. Others had Commencement matters relating to this issue but we will see how they vote because how they vote on questions relating to the most vulnerable is the most important thing. Actions speak louder than words. When the motion comes up I hope Members opposite will reflect on it. The most vulnerable people in society are being attacked by the Government and their funding is being cut, as we saw with lone parents and others, but the Labour Party continues to tout the line that social welfare has not been cut. We know from lone parents and others that they are suffering a cut on Thursday.
