We are happy to engage with the Senator on that and try to unlock the issue.
We also have the increased costs of business grants flowing out. Hopefully the second payments to the hospitality and retail sectors will be going out from next week. That is another significant intervention which is helping business. It is a cash payment directly into the bank account for just an application that can be done in less than two minutes. That is an important assistance to the sectors the Senator is concerned about.
