I must admit I have been focusing just on theNT component of this. The $88 million is purely for the rollout of this in the NT. The rest of the income management regime, as it extends beyond the Northern Territory, will be rolled out in 2008. Has the government done any costing of the rollout into communities beyond the Northern Territory, because that means rolling out across Australia?
