():  Okay. Just as an example, the mandated ratios vary significantly depending on the region at the moment. I take it from what you've just said, Minister, that—even though we know that, in places like Alice Springs and the Barkly, the ratios are much higher and they're different depending on where they are—you have no concern about any unintended or adverse consequences of no longer being a little more specific about the targeting of the requirement for supported residents. You're actually removing it altogether. There is no concern that we're going to see potentially some places where homes will make the decision not to take any supported residents at all?
