As at the end of 30 September 2026, there were 400,700.
Yeah, going find these numbers for you, Senator. Were there a list of others that we can get and provide back to you as part of this session?
Yeah, okay, so I'd like to know how many new packages have been released since the 30th of the 1st of July 2025. 2026, sorry, 2026. So in the in that three-month period, because I'm assuming you won't have validated October. Um, and how many packages were reallocated in that time? So I'm interested to understand those that are uh attracting from the 35,000 that were apparently allocated for this financial year and those that have come back into the system who do that. Um also would it be is it possible to actually um see how many total people receiving the package at the end of each quarter?
Like so we have the we just yesterday released the latest uh quarterly report for support at home. Yep. Um so we'll find those figures for you as well, as well as seeing if there's any more up to date from the most recent quarter ending the 30th of September.
