Thank you. I will be interested to find out the explanation there; that has heightened my interest somewhat! Chair, I did ask Senator Colbeck about the next paragraph, which begins:

Other changes are intended to achieve greater administrative tidiness …

It goes on to say:

… there are refinements … such as disapplying the Navigation Act 1912 and the Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) Act 1993 in relation to an offshore petroleum facility.

I asked why those acts are being, to use the term in the second reading speech, ‘disapplied’.
