In regard to Senator Siewert’s question, I am unable to give further advice about the status of the department’s investigations into the statistics in regard to that matter. It has been taken on notice and I understand that it is still under active consideration. I am unable to report further than that reported when Senator Abetz took the question on notice in regard to a previous bill—unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the bill. Senator Wong, there have been no formal costings of those arrangements at this stage.
