Nobody in government's going to stick their head above the parapet and make a decision during this this election* window. Having said that, based on the advance notice that CCSA never offered during the Covid extension era, it could be extended at short notice. Or, it could end on 31 March.

 

* It IS an election, nothing 'de-facto' about it.
