I have one last question. I believe, in the last few months, there been a marked change in the Department. Since the responsibility for this has gone to the Department of justice, I believe there has been a policy shift. What I am seeing on the ground is that not as many of these contracts are being given out and compliance is becoming rigorous. Things are improving and that reflects the State's ramping-up of its response. Is it true that people are suing the Minister for justice for not giving them IPAS contracts?
