Family Tax Benefit and Immunisation Requirements

Question

Ms Chatham: Senator, while Mr Flavel is finding that, I'll clarify the reduction for the immunisation is not to the base rate; it's just a reduction of $35.28 per fortnight from their rate. Senator RUSTON: What does that signify, $35.28? What's the relevance of that number? Ms Chatham: I would have to take that on notice. Senator RUSTON: It sort of started at $30 and it's been indexed or something? Is that why? Ms Chatham: I will take that on notice and find out.
