I thank the minister. Again, for absolute clarity, even though we've touched on this point already: Minister, I understand that the government does not want to regulate offsets twice through the Nature Repair Market and through the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. But, given that the reforms to the EPBC Act are not yet even out for consultation and certainly are not before the House, why not amend this bill to ensure integrity of offsets in the interim and then repeal these changes in consequential amendments in the EPBC Act reforms later on?
