I'd like to ask the minister a few questions before I move my amendment. Minister, could I get some clarification in relation to the budgeting around this particular measure? I note in the explanatory memorandum that there is an amount of funding, and I've asked the department, through questions, to explain to me how exactly the funding attached to the bill is going to be spent, but I haven't had a response yet. This is somewhat frustrating, given that the government are seeking for us to pass this bill despite the lack of information that has been provided in relation to the delegated legislation, which is so important to be able to understand exactly what is going to be required. Minister, can you give me some idea of what the funding allocated in your explanatory memorandum will be going to?
