I will take that as making a point, in that case. Here is an issue that I raised in my second reading contribution: where survivors are receiving services under the scheme and are subsequently moved to a state or territory that isn't their declared provider, how will that operate? Will they receive a lump sum so that they can continue to receive counselling and psychological services in the new jurisdiction, or will they be considered to have had their support services provided and then there will be no further support?
