On the funding framework, what would that look like, because I hear what Ms Nelson is saying and resources are absolutely needed to get the most marginalised voices? That might be practical things, such as childcare, transport and all of those things that are barriers to participation. It takes resources for the animation work that needs to be done in order to build confidence and capacity within individuals. How could we, or the Government, set a framework whereby the funding would go to the right areas, because what we want to avoid is a whole industry being set up around issues, as I sometimes see? We would want to target the funding to have proper measures of the outcomes we want and to make sure it is the hard-to-reach voices that were being funded.
