Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the department aware that for organisations such as Centacare Catholic Family Services there is already an eight-week wait for access to postseparation services and that the concern is that these cuts will only increase these waiting times even further? Also, can the government explain why there was a lack of consultation with the organisations about the likely impact of these budget cuts?
