I have a series of questions that I would like to ask, and I know that Senator Xenophon does to, so perhaps we can explore things topic by topic.

The government has committed $1 million in additional funding—as I understand it through the letter that has gone to Ms Macklin, the opposition shadow on social services—specifically for the trial in Ceduna. My first question is: will there be similar levels of funding for the other trial sites, such as in the East Kimberley, and whatever other towns the government manages to get to agree to this process? Will there be similar levels of funding, or is it just because this one is the one that the government needs to get over the line to get this legislation over the line?
