Minister, in your evidence before about the consultation that has been done in the Northern Territory, and the overwhelming evidence that people wanted to abolish the cashless debit card, I'm interested to know whether that consultation said that they wanted to abolish the cashless debit card in order to go back onto the BasicsCard or an enhanced BasicsCard, or whether they wanted to have the cashless debit card abolished altogether and compulsory income management abolished altogether.
