The Leader will be aware of it. It has been raised. The Senator also raised the issue of the rural practice allowance and payments to general practitioners. Again, since it is a specific matter, it might best be raised through a matter on the Commencement debate and a question to the Minister.

Senator Noone raised the welcome new policy proposals on provision for self-employed persons and access to social protection payments and so forth. Again, I believe that will be important as part of a job creation debate. I realise this is a major issue for self-employed persons in the context of taking risks and initiatives and being entrepreneurs. It has real implications for job creation as well. I think I have dealt with all queries raised.
