RUSTON (—) (): Can I seek some clarification. Thank you for the detailed answer you gave me around where you're going. I'm sure my colleague Senator O'Sullivan will have more questions around this supposed enhanced technology and third-party provider to which you just referred in that answer. But I would like to take you back to a comment you made—I'm just seeking clarification whether this is correct. You said 'the cashless debit card had not worked in the Northern Territory' and that 'the people on the cashless debit card in the Northern Territory were going to transition back to the BasicsCard'—I'm quoting you there. I'm just seeking clarification about that statement you made a minute ago, as to whether that is correct.
