Thank you, Senator Thorpe. Can I first apologise. You were so quick on the question I didn't get to answer. I didn't realise you'd asked a question, so I apologise. I was not being rude or disrespectful to your question. The card is not designed on the basis of race. It's designed on the basis of need as identified by communities around Australia who have come forward and sought for the card to be introduced into their communities.
