Once again, I thank Senator Liddle for her question and her interest in this area. All of the places that you've just outlined are places where we are making changes to the operation of the cashless debit card. I think the first and fundamental point—and, again, I hate to lecture the opposition—is that the Labor Party took this policy to the last election. We went to the people of Australia and we said: 'We don't believe that this system of income management,' that you had established in an ideological fashion, 'is working, and we intend to change it.' And that's what we're doing. So, today and tomorrow, that's exactly what we're going to be doing in this chamber. (Time expired)
