Thanks, Senator Liddle. I was listening intently to your contribution. I caught the substance of your contribution but not the question at the end.

With these sorts of legal matters, whilst I am not an expert as such, I think it is hard to predict how impactful they will be. As your contribution said, and as Minister McCarthy, who did the summing-up for me in my absence, indicated, we think they are important reforms. I understand there is support across the parliament for them because they will be impactful. The work that's gone on in preparing this—and I acknowledge the committee work at the same time—has been important. I understand there are a number of amendments in regard to enhancing the bill.
