Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:03): I thank Senator Green for her continuing questioning on this particular issue. As Senator Green would be aware, when the devastating floods hit Queensland in February this year the Department of Human Services put a postcode pause on debt recovery in the areas that were identified by those postcodes in recognition of the hardship that had occurred and would continue to occur to those people in that area. I can categorically state, as I stand here today, that the pause that was placed on those postcode areas in the Townsville area post the floods remains in place.
