We are working with a number of industries and we have mobility programs to ensure that people can move to where some jobs are—particularly in the mining industry. Just so we do not confuse people who have not been in the debate, this is about the Northern Territory. The CDEP arrangements are in the Northern Territory and not outside of it, so the changes we are talking about will simply be in the Northern Territory.
