I appreciate what you've said about the amendments to the act, and I suspect, yes, there will need to be a whole new act. But there may be processes that you could put in place that don't require changes to the act that would improve transparency and accountability. Would you be prepared to look at changes that could be made either through delegated instruments or just the process, if changes to the act are not advisable, given the process that's going to happen next year through the royal commission?
