In terms of the process, at the moment we are negotiating with each of the jurisdictions in splitting up the entire amount of money that is available. I am advised that the Northern Territory will be doing very well out of that, with the lion’s share, if you like, because of the intervention. The actual figures and what will be going to the intervention will not be known until such time as those negotiations are complete, but as soon as the negotiations are completed we will let you know.
