Thank you for that, Minister. In terms of my question then, as to how many are transitioning off completely and how many are transitioning to new arrangements, we have 4,266 in the Northern Territory who are going to be transitioned either back to the BasicsCard or onto the new enhanced technology and, similarly, 105 in Cape York. All of the others will then be given the option to be off compulsory income management altogether. Can I clarify that that is the case for the people who are out of area, all of those 3,865? I'll ask that first, then I have another question about the numbers as well.
