Thank you for the clarification. Let’s take the homelands out of it. In relation to a current CDEP provider—and there are many successful providers who are underpinning the social and community services in those communities—is it an effect of this legislation, given your explanation to Senator Siewert, that some of those CDEP providers could lose the assets that are within their organisations, thereby preventing them from successfully meeting the tendering requirements for other programs such as Work for the Dole?
