I thank Senator O'Brien for raising the matter. His comments will be conveyed to the Minister. I have much sympathy for the case Senator O'Brien is making. I realise, recognise and acknowledge the excellent work being done by home helps throughout the country. Unfortunately, we are in a financial situation in this country whereby there are things we can afford and other matters that we cannot afford. I hope time will bring the solution.
