I just have one question for the minister. I have many, but I will keep it to one; some of my questions were asked on notice in the Senate committee hearing. I want to get on the record whether the appropriation bills before us include funding for the extra Centrelink staff that will be required to do all the income quarantine management that we talked about earlier this morning and last night. How many extra staff are anticipated to be required for that role?
