I know, Senator Ruston, you don't like being reminded of that comment. I guess, if you had your time again, you might not have said what you said, but I think your words were pretty unequivocal there. You're the one, in that statement, that's talking about income management. I know it's embarrassing that you made those comments, and I know it's particularly embarrassing because you said it in front of a TV camera and there is a record of it. But I'll repeat what you said. Income management is what you referred to. You said:

We're seeking to put all income management onto the universal platform, which is the cashless debit card.
