Perhaps, Senator Farrell, you might take on notice the specifics of my question. That is: will your enhanced technology be able to be used at all sites that the cashless debit card can currently be used at? You don't have to give us the other answer that didn't answer the question again. If you'd like to take it on notice—because clearly either you do not have the answer, or the fact is that your enhanced technology won't be able to be used at all the sites the cashless debit card can be used at.

I'm just wondering if the minister might be able to advise us as to whether the government has made any commitments to either the Cape York Institute and Mr Pearson or the Family Responsibilities Commission in relation to ongoing income management in Cape York outside of what you've advised the chamber of today?
