I support Senator Barrett?s aspiration to have such a measure included, although I cannot support the amendment. Senator MacSharry put it very well, that the replication of means testing is time consuming and wasteful of scarce resources. It is something the Minister could usefully bring back to Cabinet not in the context of the Bill, but as part of a wider legislative measure.
