Obviously, we consulted IFSA. I also asked that the aged-care sector be broadly consulted. I can get some further details for you, if you wish. Again, the amendment suggested by IFSA was quite an obvious one to consider and to draft in order to remove any confusion and inequities that otherwise would have existed within the amending legislation. I can find out some more details for you, if you wish, and get back to you. I want to stress that the amendment was an obvious one. It was a technical one that, quite honestly, had eluded the drafters of the main amendment that we are considering. The IFSA were certainly the main competent representative organisation to bring that to our attention, and we are grateful for their advice.
