Thanks, Senator Lambie. This is obviously relevant to your amendment. It's certainly the government's intention to progress these reforms as quickly as possible. There's obviously a lot of interest in the Pacific in taking up these visas. There's a lot of interest in Australia in having people able to take up those visas. It'll take a little bit of time to be able to implement it, but we certainly want to get it happening as quickly as we can.
