I thank the Senator for emphasising the importance of that programme and I know the Minister is committed to it as well. I understand she will be making an announcement soon on the extension of that programme. It is something we will be looking to build on because it has a direct and tangible impact for people who need it most. I reiterate the point from earlier that even during lockdown and when schools were closed, children and parents who wanted to pick up food were being facilitated. It is an impactful programme and one that I would be interested in growing.
