My question is to the minister who is representing the Minister representing the Minister for Employment Participation and Childcare. As part of the stimulus package, the government agreed to double the liquid asset threshold for relevant payments and remove the liquid assets waiting period for a period of two years, until 31 March 2011. As part of the agreement, the government also agreed that these arrangements would be reviewed after one year to determine their adequacy. Have the changes to the liquid assets threshold and waiting period been reviewed? If so, what were the findings and will those findings be publicly released? If they have not been reviewed, why not?
