I put to the minister that I was very clear in my second reading contribution to the bill and also in my introduction to this amendment that we are not seeking to be prescriptive and that the amendment is deliberately drafted in an open-ended way in order to provide guidance rather than to completely nail down what we mean. If the definition should not be provided in the bill and therefore make its way into the act, can the minister tell us where network protection operators can find a common-sense or consensus definition of what is meant by network protection duties? If the definition is not in the act, where can it be found?
