Before I respond to that, I table a supplementary explanatory memorandum relating to the government amendments to be moved to this bill.

I'm not in a position to be able to tell you how many participants on the scheme are provided with more than a million dollars per annum. If we're able to assist you with that, we will, over the course of this—or it's a proper question to be directed towards the agency during estimates. It is certainly the case that there are some participants in this scheme who have deep and complex needs, and the provision of those kinds of services is sometimes very expensive.
