Maybe these are the talking points you were given and I shouldn't attribute it to your door, but it is passing ironic that we're dealing with a matter that arose out of a failure of the executive, the Albanese Labor government, to allow proper scrutiny in relation to a very complicated piece of legislation, namely the Administrative Review Tribunal Bill. It is passing ironic that we're actually trying to fix that mess up now and, again, a minister sitting on the government benches for the Albanese Labor government can't resist the urge to voice disdain for the scrutiny processes of this Senate chamber. But, again, it might be in the talking points. We'll move on to operation of part 12 of schedule 2 of the bill. Minister, could you please explain the operation of part 12 of schedule 2 of the bill.
