I thank Senator Pocock for the question. We have, as everyone in the Senate will know, an extremely busy legislation program. We have a number of bills here in the Senate that we are seeking to progress, and, if there was a willingness to do that, we would sincerely appreciate it. If there is more that I can come back to Senator Pocock with on the trajectory for that legislation, I will.

We are serious about making sure that people get a fair deal at the supermarkets. I think everyone has been feeling this. Anyone who does the shopping sees it every day when they go to the supermarket. Wanting to make sure that they get a better deal and make sure that the supermarkets are doing the right thing by people, I think, is a priority for all of us in this place. We have responded to the Emerson review, which talked about making a code of conduct for supermarkets mandatory, and that is being progressed. I don't have the exact date of when that will be, but I will see if I can provide it during this question time.
