You can see that, obviously, the position of the government is reflected in the amendment. We do think it's an important area. We're going to have to continue to work with states and territories around various interactions with their regulatory arrangements, and we will. Obviously, the point of this legislation is to have the individuals at the centre of decision-making, so we don't want to create a system which makes it onerous or difficult. It's all about making sure it's easier and more focused on the individual. That's the overarching principle of the legislation, and we will continue. This amendment hopefully will pass, and we will continue to work with all stakeholders to ensure those arrangements are appropriate.
