Whilst we are on this point, I should indicate that while Labor agrees that, as much as possible, the detail of the scheme should be set out in the primary legislation, we think that that has already been achieved in what is proposed in the bill as was amended in the House. We do understand that some flexibility is required and that the bill reflects that. Senator Brandis referred to issues around emerging technology, but I should also highlight that this arrangement is subject to the 40 days that we were previously discussing.
