I wonder whether the government has thought about some of its other compulsory requirements such as income management and the work that has been done, particularly, for example, by the Indigenous Doctors Association, which has looked at the psychological impacts of discriminatory compulsory requirements. I wonder whether the government has looked at whether that is, in fact, going to have an impact on some families and whether some families will say, 'We're not going to do this because you're requiring this of me, as someone on income support, because (a) you're implying that I cannot look after my child and (b) there is the impact it has had by being required to do something in the same way that income management has had an impact on a number of people.' You are requiring them to do something they do not agree with.
