On the amendment—this is the one relating to transitional provisions—the reason we won't be supporting it is so that the rules of engagement are not changed midstream for all the people involved in those. I acknowledge that for people who are involved in any investigation it's very difficult, and it's very important that people are able to seek wellbeing support from PWSS. This has been one of the most significant reforms this parliament has put in place in recent times. It is being well utilised. It's highly respected. And we believe that ensuring that those investigations that are ongoing can be concluded through the transitional arrangements is preferable to this amendment.
