The review itself has obviously been initiated in response to this particular issue. It is of course focusing on this particular issue in proposed section 359. But it is also, I am advised, extending to review all of the legislative requirements that are placed on the Department of Industry, Science and Innovation in regards to the OPGGS Act and any other ancillary requirements that may relate to that act. I think the Senate can be confident that it will focus on all the potential issues. As I said, if there are any issues, problems or errors, we will seek to bring those to the parliament's attention and do what we need to do to fix them.
