As those opposite interject, I want to read to them a quote from a big supporter of the changes to the Reserve Bank:

The recommendations of the review will clarify the Reserve Bank's monetary policy role, strengthen its governance arrangements, improve the transparency of its decision making, and deepen its economic expertise.

…   …   …

It is essential the implementation of the review be as bipartisan as possible …

That's what the shadow Treasurer said about the recommendations of the review, and now he says he's going to vote against it. I have tried to work with the shadow Treasurer to implement the changes in a bipartisan way.
