I want to go to a separate issue, which I could make no sense of. It is in relation to Subdivision C—Miscellaneous about the payment of credit balance of income management account accounts when a person ceases to be subject to the income management regime. I will walk through my understanding of the process. Someone subject to the income management regime who receives a baby bonus will receive that bonus in monthly instalments. Am I to understand that the monthly instalments of the baby bonus will also be subject to the 50 per cent quarantining process?
