Minister, in relation to the questions that Senator Siewert is pursuing, will you comment on this: where a homeland association may have been a CDEP provider, is it the intention under this legislation that, with the withdrawal of CDEP, the resources in that community which are related to it and have been raised through the CDEP could be acquired and directed to other employment programs, therefore stripping the homeland association of the capacity to tender for something like Work for the Dole?
