Mr President, I rise on a point of order going to relevance. Senator Abetz was asked a specific question by Senator Polley which went to the report of Catholic Social Services and criticism echoed by the Salvation Army when they suggested that there were perverse incentives that needed to be addressed. I ask you, Mr President, to draw the minister’s attention to the question, rather than having him waffle on, so that he provides an answer to that concern raised by providers, which we think deserves a serious response.
