Minister, thank you for that explanation about the interactions between the Department of Human Services and other departments. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given your inability—and I know you have taken some of it on notice—to explain exactly why Centrelink may not have had this information, isn’t this just another example of Labor announcing policy on the run to suit some sort of 24-hour news cycle? Will you guarantee that any interested persons calling Centrelink for information will actually get all the relevant information that they require?
