I thank the House for the support of these amendments, which I understand is going to be across the House. These are amendments that were moved in the Senate by Senator Lidia Thorpe. What they will do is require the minister to provide progress reports on the Northern Territory Aboriginal Investment Corporation and also require the minister to table a copy of any progress reports in each house within 15 days of receiving that report. These important amendments will help ensure accountability and transparency, and the Greens are pleased that they have received the support of the Senate. We look forward to them receiving the support of the House. Senator Thorpe has made extensive contributions in the Senate as to why these amendments are important, and I commend these amendments to the House.

Question agreed to.
