In your article 'PM's blueprint for growth' (April 15), it states that his blueprint for growth is based on a small-business tax cut that is "more than paid for by not proceeding with the paid parental leave scheme".
Small business certainly needs support but the costings need to be explained properly.
Abbott's flawed logic is akin to me announcing that I will buy a Rolls-Royce (which I don't need and can't afford) and then when the family convinces me not to do it I then announce that I will build an extension on the house with the money I saved from not buying the Rolls.
No sensible family would fall for that type of logic and the Australian public can surely see through the flaws in Abbott's reasoning.
