I'm advised this was provided to your office two days ago, but we appreciate that the shadow minister may not have seen it. This amendment essentially ensures that the relevant section of the pipeline be removed before the Australian licence for the pipeline, and therefore the responsibilities of the relevant licensee will end. It's a technical amendment just to ensure the intention, as has always been the intention of both sides of the House, is given effect. We believe it's an uncontroversial amendment but appreciate the shadow minister needs to look at it at the very least. But I think it's very uncontroversial.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.
