I thank you for that clarification; I appreciate that. Can I confirm that, therefore, under the various provisions—those that are already included in the act and those that are subsequently being amended, such as in clause 47 of the bill, which amends section 21(3) of the act—recovery plans that are abatement plans prepared under chapter 5 of the EPBC Act or any recovery plans that are prepared by state and territory governments will in fact be given effect to by the authority.
