Can I just indicate on behalf of my colleagues so there is no ambiguity that we strongly support these amendments. Amendments (1) and (2) on sheet 8177 do allow for a greater degree of transparency. They give greater teeth to the National Schools Resourcing Board. The other amendment on sheet 8179 is an one that is, again, an accountability and transparency measure, including for educational outcomes. It is something that I know my colleague Senator Lambie, who is not in the chamber now, has indicated her support for. I think that these are important transparency measures to improve the outcomes arising out of this bill. My colleagues and I strongly support these measures, and I look forward to their passage.
