I'm just going to try one more time, Senator Farrell, but I'll give you a hint. There is nobody in the Northern Territory who is on the cashless debit card who has not voluntarily chosen to go on the cashless debit card. So, there is nobody—and I mean nobody—in the Northern Territory who has been compulsorily forced to go onto the cashless debit card. So, I think for the minister to come in here and make statements about thousands and thousands being consulted in the Northern Territory who told Senator McCarthy and Mr Gosling and other people about the cashless debit card and how they hated the fact that they'd been forced onto the cashless debit card—I would ask whether Senator Farrell wishes to correct the record and actually put on the record that there is no-one in the Northern Territory who is on the cashless debit card who hasn't voluntarily chosen to go on it.
