(—) (): I thank Senator Rice for her supplementary question. I think it's important that you look at the totality of what's being offered and proposed with respect to JobSeeker. I mentioned the figure of $40 a fortnight from 20 September. This increase will be combined with an increase from indexation for those payments indexed on the same day. For example, this means that a single jobseeker with no dependents will actually receive an increase of $56 a fortnight. (Time expired)
