At this stage there is no intention by the government to make a regulation. I am assuming you are saying that we would add additional bodies. I am assuming that is what you are going to. As I have made clear—I think it was in response to you or Senator Cameron—the government has no intention of bringing in any other bodies and therefore will not be making any regulations.

In relation to the usual process that I was referring to, you would be aware that in any event, if a regulation is made, it is a disallowable instrument, and obviously it would be up to the Senate, in the normal course of business, as to whether it did or did not disallow the instrument. But I again go to the fact that the government has no intention of making regulations.
