My question is to the Minister for Human Services, Senator Chris Ellison. Could the minister inform the Senate how many people have been breached by Centrelink—that is, how many people on income support payments have been given an eight-week non-payment period—since the introduction of Welfare to Work in July 2006? Can the minister inform the Senate how many Indigenous people have been breached during this period and how that compares to the previous financial year?
