I thank the Senator for his question and his earlier comments. I appreciate them, as will officials across my Department. Some of the measures I have set out are directly within the remit of my Department and some within those of other Departments. Going into budget 2024 negotiations, I have identified a key priority as being to increase the weekly foster care allowance. The Senator knows this is subject to the negotiations, but that is a key priority for me.
