I'll just agree with Senator Roberts that there is no deal, no agreement and none of those sorts of things. One Nation senators did, as Senator Roberts and Senator Hanson have acknowledged, meet with the Treasurer. The Treasurer talked them through the types of protections that exist, both the pre-existing protections in other laws as well as the protections in the structure of the rules around this program and the work the government is doing on those rules.

The CHAIR: The question is that the motion as moved by the minister, that the committee does not insist on its amendments to which the House of Representatives has disagreed, be agreed to.
