Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Can the minister indicate how she thinks there could be any infrastructure, offices or staff in place for three unannounced providers for a program which starts in 10 days? Given that the Indigenous Employment Program itself was oversubscribed, underresourced and badly managed, how can stakeholders in this area—especially Indigenous jobseekers—have any confidence that the RJCP will be any different?
