Senator SIEWERT (10:07 AM) —I would like to ask a few questions about how the payments under the income management regime will work. I put a few questions on notice and got some very short answers. My understanding is that at the moment a decision has not been made by the government on exactly how the income support regime is going to work. I asked whether or not there was going to be a voucher system and you still had not worked out the answer, although I think that one of the answers I got said that the community store would have a voucher system. Given the mobility of people in the Northern Territory, how is it envisaged that the voucher system will work at the community store if people are moving around—when people are visiting other people, for example?
