Just for clarity, Senator Henderson, the guidelines that I tabled are the same as you received last week. They haven't changed since then.

In relation to items (2) and (3) on sheet 1937, the government will be supporting these amendments. The draft guidelines circulated already address IP ownership, as flagged in the draft guidelines, and the government has been clear from the beginning that the startup year will focus on getting underrepresented groups into the entrepreneurial ecosystem, specifically including programs that focus on solving regional issues through innovation. So the government will support the amendment, noting that essentially supports the position taken by government to date.
