That is your advice? I understand that, Minister. Can I move to the time frames. You would be aware, Minister, that this has been a constant issue with respect to these reforms.

Many of them, in fact, say this is a significant increase in regulatory burden. Of all the concerns—indeed, the complaints—expressed at the Melbourne hearing, I think it is fair to say that the time frames were the most significant, the most broadly expressed and perhaps the most virulent criticism of the legislation.
