To be absolutely clear, as much as I'd like to think we were consulted at the kind of level of detail that you have just put on the record, Minister, we weren't. Our agreement is in relation to the categorisation of the service list. Particularly, I want to put on the record that we appreciated the fact that the government accepted our recommendation that no Australian would be asked to contribute more than half of their care contribution, but we were certainly not privy to the determination about what was on those service lists, which is why I'm asking about the showering. Can I take from what you've just said, Minister, that there have been no other changes to the categorisation of particular aspects of the service list, apart from the caps on cleaning and gardening?
