I'll take that interjection from the minister. 'Dead right,' he said, 'it's primarily the responsibility of the states.' The attitude we're seeing is: 'It's not the federal government's responsibility; it's the states' responsibility. I don't care—if you fall between the cracks, you're just going to have to put up with it.' And that's what we see. You can hear the tirade coming from the minister over there, because what he's saying is indefensible.
