I want to go back to the issue that was raised earlier today and was touched upon by Senator Lambie's question, which is future government policy. The government has made a range of assertions about the CDC. Government members and senators have made a range of assertions including Senator Canavan saying, 'I think it is now time we take the evidence on board and roll it out across the country.' The bill before the chamber has changed in the last hour and a half because of a deal you've done with Centre Alliance, which changes government policy. I'd like to know what government policy is? Is government policy the extension of the trial sites? Is government policy the extension of the trial sites for a period plus a dual system on those on income management in the Northern Territory? Is government policy what Senator Canavan is flagging, which is broader rollout? What is government policy?
