What I would like to know from the minister, given that a deal has now been done to divert resources, or send resources—I don't know if they're being diverted; I'm sure you've answered that in a question previously. Given that there will be resources going to the Adelaide registry when we know that the Cairns registry is in acute need of resources, it has been starved of resources and there are acute waiting times, have you as a Queensland senator, or in your position now, met with the Women's Legal Service Queensland about this bill and did you give them a reassurance that this bill would reduce waiting times in Cairns?
