I remind the House that the government was not able to demonstrate that the CDC program was meeting its intended objectives. That is from the ANAO report. But I continued reading the ANAO report and I found some other interesting information, in table 1.2. It is that in 2020 the former government reduced the objectives of the act. It actually references violence and harm and the reduction in trial sites. That was point b). It actually removed that from the objectives. So, in the new objectives, there was no reference to trying to determine whether violence or harm was reducing.
