Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Given that a significant proportion of the clients of these emergency services are already single parents, I ask: is the government going to give additional funding to emergency services to cope with the additional burden that single families may place on these emergency services, as their income is going to drop between $60 and $100 a week from 1 January next year?
