Senator, I'm going to take that on notice to give you an exact answer, but I can tell you that over the last few days every resource that has been available within Centrelink and all external resources that we have been able to access have been moved into the processing of the new payments that are coming online. So, whilst I'm not going to absolutely say no, I think the answer is no, but I will confirm that for you, because over the coming months our only focus is going to be making sure that we apply every resource that is at our disposal to process new applications as quickly as we can.
