My question is to the Minister for Human Services, Senator Ellison. Minister, I was in Innisfail on the weekend, handing over a cheque for $35,000 from the Minister for the Arts and Sport to the Festival of the Senses in that town. The festival fell on the first anniversary of Cyclone Larry. While I was there, people mentioned the great work that Centrelink had done, and I wonder whether the minister would inform the Senate of the role played by Centrelink in the Australian government’s response to that cyclone and also to recent cyclones in Western Australia.
