Senator Hanson-Young, there are limits to my personal knowledge of all of the conversations that take place between all of the ministers, but of course ministers discuss policy matters that are before them. This is a bill that interacts with other portfolios. I am advised that Minister Plibersek and her staff have engaged with their colleagues, as you would expect, in relation to this bill. But the government doesn't propose to bring forward amendments to this bill. We've contemplated the many options that have been proposed by participants in the public debate around this bill and have concluded that we are satisfied with the bill as it is presented and as it is before you now in the Senate.
