I have just one further question about the recommendations made by the Information Commissioner. I note that many of those have been adopted by the government and I think they are sensible changes. I am interested as to why the government initially was of a persuasion not to have an inquiry into the legislation, not to take that evidence, because without those changes the legislation that was proposed to the Senate would have been inconsistent with My Health Record and many of the changes that the Information Commissioner has suggested.
