I would like to take the answer to the first part of your question on notice, Senator. I am not aware of exactly where we are up to with all of those recommendations, but I think it deserves an answer on notice. In terms of those recommendations, this government and jurisdictions at state, territory and local government level have been informed by them and, where they can, I think, governments are certainly moving towards ensuring that the issues associated with preventing people from being incarcerated are more and more becoming a part of the fabric of government instead of being something you do as a special thing.

This government do everything it can. When we are dealing, for example, with the Queensland government or some other jurisdiction about building roads, we are actually hypothecating our values into the contracts so that we ensure that they also have the same employment outcomes. (Time expired)
