          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:46):</by>  Mr President, my question to the minister following on from her answer is: yesterday, the minister was asked whether bridging units were noncompliant, and have RTOs been asked to repay the money? I asked the minister: did she not know the answer to that question yesterday? Were they noncompliant, and had they been asked to repay the money? There is no detail in that question: it is a simple yes or no.</text>
