Where it standsNothing recorded yet
Nothing recorded in our sources yet. That reflects what we have collected, not necessarily what has happened.
Sources are government releases, budget papers and orders. They show what the government says it will do or has done. They are claims, not independent confirmation. "Nothing recorded" means nothing in our sources, not that nothing was done.
