I think that a lot of social service organisations would be fascinated to hear that there is a lot of money in DSS that can be suddenly found just like that for these sorts of services. You cut $270 million out of the budget for this sort of thing, and all of a sudden we can find more money? Not that I am opposed to finding more money, but I am just fascinated that we can suddenly find money for these services when you cut some of them previously. Could you please give us a bit more detail about where the money is coming from?
