I thought the Deputy had something interesting to say. I welcome all of the reports from MABS because they provide important information for people like me, as Minister, and, I hope, people such as the Deputy, as a senior Opposition spokesperson, in formulating policy that helps people who have debt difficulties not just now but continuously through the years as they manage money. MABS places people in a structure that helps, but the Deputy denies this. I know this service, as does the man sitting beside her.
