Senator, I understand your passion around the issues of income management, but, in terms of the system that we have in place, there are always requirements on people who receive benefits. In terms of this policy, as I said earlier, we are making sure that 92,000 children get these checks and these assessments, which I think is a very good result. In terms of the issues around income management, I do not think that forms part of this debate.
