I see the member for Herbert has already done that. Well done to him. Also the Prime Minister, who I am sure the member for Herbert has also acknowledged as driving this agenda. It is an important agenda; it might be chipping small bits away, but it is important. It is important that individuals, companies and organisations—not-for-profits in particular—do not get frustrated with filling out unnecessary forms and compliances, taking their focus away from doing the job they should be doing, whether it be in the community or in the economy.
