I was actually thinking you were referring to it more broadly. Since the re-election of the Morrison government, there are some processes that still have to be undertaken in developing the legislation to enable those people who are currently on the BasicsCard in the Northern Territory and Cape York to move over onto the cashless debit card. So whilst the intention is quite clear, the legislative instruments to enable that to happen have not passed through this place as yet.
