Senator Colette Kelleher made an important distinction between advocacy groups and service providers. Too often in our past, charities have had to step in to provide services where the State has failed. We seriously need to look at the State providing services that it should have provided in the past and, in that way, to bring more coherence to service delivery as well.

Will Senator Frances Black comment on Deputy John Brassil's point about whether the main problem is organisation or resources?
