I'd like to thank the member for her question. As she knows, through the welfare reform bill, we're simplifying seven payments into one and, as we have made very clear, 99 per cent of people will be no worse off under these changes. Ninety-nine per cent of people will be no worse off under these changes.

I can also say to her that what we are doing is making sure that those who have to use our welfare system can navigate it and that it is not complex. It is something that you did on your side as well, because we want to have a simplified welfare system which is easy for people to navigate and, as I've made very clear, 99 per cent of people will be no worse off.
