My question is addressed to the Minister for Human Services. I ask the minister when the new exposure draft of the Human Services (Enhanced Service Delivery) Bill will be made public. When will it be tabled in the Senate? Can the minister outline to the parliament the agreed terms for public consultation, including how the consultations will be conducted, where they will take place and the time frame for those consultations? Will the consultation on this new piece of legislation be managed by the Department of Human Services, with a view to refining any final legislation before parliament considers the bill? What impact will this have on the second request for tender, which was published on the access card website on 31 January, which has the design phase of the card being completed by July this year?
