I'm keen to get a few answers in relation to the amendments that you've just moved. They relate to the change in position of the government from proposing an F4 prescription model for vaping products to an F3 pharmacy model, which is something that has happened in the later stages of this bill and subsequent to its passage in its previous form through the House of Representatives.

Minister, I'm keen to understand: in the last sitting period, the House of Representatives put through a version of the bill, and you are now seeking to amend the bill quite substantially. Who did the government consult with before making the decision to move to the pharmacy F3 prescription model that is currently being proposed by these amendments?
