Fact check: The Coalition’s stance on paid parental leave ‘double dipping

Prime Minister Tony Abbott says the Government announced a plan to end "double dipping" for PPL before the last election.

  • The claim: Prime Minister Tony Abbott says the Coalition announced plans to stop new mothers “double dipping” on paid parental leave before the 2013 election.
  • The verdict: The policy the Coalition took to the election didn’t include ending double dipping and ensured most working women would have a far better deal with their paid parental leave. A pre-election costings document did flag scrapping double dipping for public servants, but it didn’t say it would apply to women in the private sector. Mr Abbott’s claim is misleading.
