No, not at all. I think you have seen from this government the approach we are taking as a government, which is to talk and consult and respond accordingly. That's what you have seen with this amendment. It wasn't going to be supported by the Senate. That was clear. If there is another way we can address the concerns the opposition have in respect of this part of the bill along with concerns that the crossbench have had with that part of the bill, and if there is way we can bring people together to reach agreement on that, I think that would be a good thing.
