I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) I received 146 submissions. (2) No. The submissions were sent to me as minister as part of the review process and I do not believe it is appropriate for them to be tabled. However, I can advise the member that the main concerns raised were the 410 visa holders, flexible working hours and age eligibility. (3) The review is due to be finished by the end of this financial year. I am pleased that the former minister is interested in seniors because when I asked at the seniors centre how many times the former minister had visited the seniors centre, they replied that she had visited just once.
