I thank Senator Faruqi for her contribution. The government won't be supporting these amendments, as we do think they require further consideration and consultation. Expanding the measure would place an unreasonable burden on smaller providers, who cannot afford to offer the discount. That could cause issues with fair competition as well. So we will not be supporting these amendments moved by Senator Faruqi.
