debt recovery and compliance activity. I will reiterate that, if anybody is identified through my internal process and the internal process instigated by Minister Robert and the Department of Human Services—if anybody else is identified—we will contact them. If you would like to provide us with the name and details of the person whose letter you provided, we're happy to contact them to say that we will not be pursuing any debts that have been instigated as a part of the compliance process. I stand by my comments that the debt recovery pause that was in place in February remains in place—and has always been in place—and will not be lifted until sometime in the future. I give an undertaking to advise this chamber and the people affected when that pause is to be lifted.
