There is nothing planned at the moment, but I am sure the minister will take on board your concerns. As always, we will be monitoring the operation of these amendments and the act in general and if, through the passing of these amendments, we have identified people who should not be captured then of course there will be a response. But that group of people is quite small. The reality is that even in the non-profit sector there are financial arrangements and financial structures where the current act does not capture people who are acting as key personnel without being identified to the department as such.
Question negatived.
