Thanks, Senator Allman-Payne. As I talked through before in my response to Senator Faruqi, we want to do that policy in a considered way where we're able to treat the Senate with the respect it deserves and also those stakeholders with the respect they deserve by going through a proper committee process. We had an amendment to that regard as a second reading amendment. Unfortunately, that was voted down. But we think that that substantial change does need to be properly scrutinised to ensure that it is done in the appropriate way and people have the opportunity to contribute to that debate.
