I am sure we will continue to pursue that issue in estimates as well. Can I move to the issue that I raised during my second reading contribution, of protected information. I'm sure you're aware of the issue that I raised in terms of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission's occasional finding on section 86-9 of the Aged Care Act, which is about information on aged-care services that the secretary may make publicly available—that it refers to protected information. I am sure you heard the comments I made about people having deep concerns about that provision being used in order to not provide information. What is the government doing to ensure that information listed under section 86-9 of the Aged Care Act is available to members of the public who request it?
