I thank the honourable member for the question. Yes; we have allowed two lots. We have increased the Seniors Card from 20 hours a week to 25 hours a week; we do not want people to miss out. The first lot was cut off on 31 May, and the second lot will be in the middle of July so that people have time to get in their applications and then receive their bonus of $225 for couples and $150 for singles.
