          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:59):</by>  The issue that's been raised so far has been the matter of ensuring that we have continuity of volunteers. From that point of view, DHS met with Foodbank, particularly, last week and has offered that there will be a provision of staff that we have available in the department who are not actually coming into the office. We have also, through our partners, Volunteering SA and NT—they are the key partner to ensure that there is some continuity of matching volunteers with those services—and the department is continuing to work through a range of other issues with food security. We appreciate that it is a critical service and through the government's website we will be providing more information as it is made available.</text>
