MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:45):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I will take it away and double-check. The minister responsible for the MFS, I am sure, has exact updates, but there were some hundreds. As of a few weeks ago, when I think I was last informed, it was some tens of thousands of dollars in total for a few hundred people, but if that is wrong from a few months ago and there is a better update I am happy to go away and bring back the member an answer. I suspect that, if she asks a further supplementary of the Hon. Emily Bourke, she may have an exact figure.</text>
