Given that an agency of the government is already entering into deferred prosecution agreements, in effect under guidelines as opposed to law, how many other such agreements does the government propose its agencies will enter into before the review takes place? Will any other of these arrangements occur before this review takes place, as was the one entered into by OZ Minerals Ltd and an agency of the Commonwealth government? What's the government's position with regard to how this area should be regulated and managed up to the point in time of the review? Will there be any other arrangements, such as the one entered into under this government last year? Will there be any other such arrangements entered into?
