I will briefly address the issue of consultation. I want to make the point that there was extensive community consultation between May and December 2017. The Department of Social Services conducted 188 meetings in the Bundaberg and Hervey Bay region with a broad range of stakeholders, including the community sector, service providers, community members and all levels of government, including three community information sessions in Childers, Bundaberg and Hervey Bay.

Question agreed to.
