I can say with some confidence that the ones that you refer to in Central Australia—which were in the media, I think, about a week ago. I have always said that we would ensure that there are no gaps in services. On those services that you referred to a week ago: all those services were told last Friday that the funding that they had to run those particular youth services in the past would be maintained. I am surprised that you have not heard about that, Senator. As I have said, we left enough time between now and 30 June to ensure that any cuts to front-line services or perceived cuts in front-line services were remediated, and that has been done.
