Labor will be supporting amendment No. 2. It changes, in the objects of the bill, the word 'promote' to the word 'develop', as the assistant minister explained. This is a change that was raised during the consultation phase on the bill by the sector. It's about ensuring that, with this package, rather than it being the case that the objects are promoted or advanced in that encouraging or promotional way, some of the changes are actually developed, and that's why the sector felt that this was a meaningful change, from 'promote' to 'develop'. We accept that. Clearly, the government does too. And, on that basis, we will support the amendment.
