I was consulted in the process of the formation of these centres across Australia before the documentation went to national cabinet last week, so I was well aware of all of the processes last week before any decisions were made with respect to the formation of a recovery centre in any other state. I played a part, firstly, in the formation of the Victorian aged-care response centre, and then in the process of decision-making for those that might be required subsequently.
