The question was asked about mobile team visits. I draw this to the member for Curtin’s attention. Mobile team visits have been in operation since 2003. Furthermore, mobile team visits have so far been conducted in the following locations—a number of these were under the previous government—in Beirut, in Nairobi, in Pretoria, in Cairo, in Bangkok and in Jakarta. Furthermore, for the information of the honourable member, there were 14 MTVs, as they are called, conducted in 2005-06 in Beirut, Nairobi, Pretoria, Cairo and Bangkok; 12 in 2006-07; 11 in 2007-08; five in 2008-09; and six so far in the 2009-10 period. I thank the honourable member for her question.
