I indicate that the Australian Greens will be supporting these amendments. Senator Conroy has expressed how they bring IA functions into line with similar entities. IA will retain a degree of independence. Again, these amendments reduce that potential for ministerial interference. The interference happens later, once Infrastructure Australia has made its judgement call. We do not want ministers reaching in and cooking these processes while they are afoot. We are happy to support these amendments.
