I'd like to ask some questions about the psychological support services available under the scheme. We understand that it's widely recognised that the impacts of institutional child sex abuse can be profound and lifelong—and I'm sure the minister understands that. Can the minister, therefore, explain why counselling and psychological care arrangements only require the states to deliver a minimum of 20 hours support?
