I am not aware of those particular comments, Senator. I am sure you will understand that this is not my direct portfolio responsibility. The government has made clear that this process is being continually refined.

Senator Wong interjecting—

If you do not want to listen, Senator Wong, I am happy to move to the next question. I will take that interjection. I was being honest to the Senate. I am sorry, but I do not notice every comment about another portfolio. I am rather focused on my own.

As I have made clear, the government is continuing to work on this. The government will not walk away from it. This protects the interests of taxpayers and citizens who need to access a sustainable and targeted payment system. (Time expired)
