We all welcome the increase in payments and thresholds but we also understand that a significant number of people who are not on big money can be detrimentally impacted depending on where the thresholds are. I suppose that is why the Minister is looking at the interdepartmental working group. I understand that when people hear those sorts of terms, they think it is an excuse to do nothing but I have no doubt that there will be follow through. Did I catch it correctly that she is looking at means testing for her entire Department and thinks that report will be finished in the first quarter of this year?
