I am just pointing out that it is an exception that is justified. Covid was mentioned twice in the Minister's speech. I am wondering why an exception was not made in terms of bonuses, not in respect of health investment but in respect of those front-line workers who may need encouragement going to work in very difficult circumstances.

I understand I am out of time. I want to contribute on other issues later so I will not delay now.
