It's good to understand the thinking and the process there; thank you, Minister. I have a question or two around direct personal response. Under the previous Commonwealth bill, a note to clause 50(1) provided for a consequence if a participating institution did not comply with the request of a survivor for a direct personal response—that is, the operator had to include details about the noncompliance in the annual report on the scheme, required under clause 122, which would be presented to the parliament by the minister. This hasn't been included in the national bill. Will it now be included in the rules?
