I thank the member for her question, and I will ask the Minister representing the Minister for Families and Social Services to respond further to the member's question. The government actually does provide support to Foodbank. We do to many Foodbank services around the country. We are pleased to do so, because we acknowledge the tremendous work that they do. Particularly as part of our drought program, we are working with a whole host of different charitable organisations. We have provided over $50 million, in fact, to organisations like the Salvos, Vinnies and others—the Country Women's Association—to ensure that we are providing the support we can. But I will ask the Minister representing the Minister for Families and Social Services to add further.
