Just so that I am clear, there are three different companies that are conducting consultation. How were those companies selected and why wasn't it just one group doing consultation in such an important area?</text>

J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:22):</by>  I can get further detail for the honourable member if he is interested in how that took place. The decision to engage these particular organisations was made by the department based on their experience in this space. They are clearly different cohorts who—cohorts is one of those words, isn't it? They have different needs and they have different interests in this space and therefore the department has made the decision to engage various organisations based on their assessment of their strengths.</text>
