I thank Ms Harris. My other question is for FARI. FARI's statement mentioned kinship carers needing to have the same rights as foster carers. Maybe Mr. Mason did not get to that part but I read the statement prior to the meeting. How widespread is the issue around kinship care versus foster care and how do we legislate for that?
