I thank the minister for her answer, as I was seeking clarification around this power. I appreciate that it is a regulation-making power and I appreciate the comment around it being a legislative instrument. I thank the minister for her clarification about the emergency provisions so that the Senate has an indication of why such exemptions would be provided for. Now that the minister has clarified the extent to which the provision would be used, I seek leave to withdraw amendment (7) on sheet 5629.

Leave granted.
