Senator SIEWERT (Western Australia—Australian Greens Whip) (14:50): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services, Senator Ryan. In the government's recent budget it announced drug testing trials for 5,000 new income support recipients in a number of locations in Australia. On 15 June A Current Affair,the program on Channel Nine, identified sites including north of Brisbane, Western Sydney and Melbourne's north-west as potential trial sites for drug testing income support recipients. Can the minister confirm that these sites are being considered? If so, on what basis is the decision being made and, if not, when will the government inform Australia as to those trial sites?
