I have just a couple of questions tonight. I will save most of mine until we get to the clause by clause, because they relate to specific amendments. By way of confirming and maybe closing that thread from Senator Leyonhjelm, is it the case that there is no essential gravity of conduct threshold? We have narrowed the range of agencies which is appropriate—I commend the government for doing that; I do not think I have heard a critical work from any stakeholder about that step—but there is no actual threshold of gravity of conduct below which it would be unlawful or outside the ambit of the act?
