Yes, although I could mention water infrastructure and so on. Direct capital allocation is slightly reduced and the Minister has not refuted that point. It seems, on foot of what the Minister is saying, that the only increase the Department of housing is getting relates to the housing assistance payment, HAP. That is probably what it is. The Minister is factoring in that there will be more HAP tenancies.
