Could I just seek clarification: was it the intention of the government to vote against an amendment that explicitly prohibited or prevented the government from placing people on income management? Not for people to volunteer, but for the Commonwealth government to place people on income management—was that your intention? You voted against that amendment, so was that the intention? Do you believe that the Commonwealth government should have the right to place aged pensioners, veteran pensioners or service pensioners on income management?
