Can I just take you back to some comments that you made very early on in the night around the consultation that had been undertaken prior to the decision by the government to make the election commitment in relation to the abolition of the cashless debit card. You listed a number of consultations that have been undertaken by Senator McCarthy and other ministers. I was wondering whether you would be able to table for us or provide us with a list of the consultations that were undertaken outside of the Northern Territory by any of the ministers or members of your party at the time prior to the election? You listed a whole heap of activities that happened post the election, after you had already made the decision. I was just wondering if you would be able to provide information about the visits to the four cashless debit card sites and the Cape York site. If you could provide us with information as to the consultations that occurred at those four sites and Cape York prior to the decision being announced by the now government, when they were in opposition?
