It would not because the Senator is confusing the implementation of the legislation with the provision of resources. The implementation of the legislation and its review will have no impact on the provision of resources, which will be debated annually during the Estimates and budget process. The delivery of services is a separate issue to the review of the legislation. If the legislation is inadequate, it will take two or three years for that to show up significantly. A review can commence at that stage should it be necessary. While the Senator is correct about the implementation of the legislation and resources and the appointment of therapists, it is a matter for the Estimates and the budget.
