Ms Caroline Timmons:

Following moving the CREL up to 45%, the Minister asked us to look at any further changes that might be necessary.

There is a CREL working group in place. All of the AHBs were asked to make submissions to that group about whether there are any further changes that might be useful to bring forward. That will be concluding its work over the next while, and proposals will be made to the Minister in that regard.

The points Senator Cummins made are all under consideration. It is not necessarily holding things up. We are working very closely with the AHBs, which have made proposals about units they could bring forward. We are asking them to bring the proposals in right now and we are working with them on those.
