We are considering it at the cabinet level, and when we have responded to it, we will make it public.

But, on the question of transparency, which the member raises, I would also point out that it was the former Rudd Labor government which introduced the ministerial code of conduct. It was the former Rudd Labor government which introduced the Lobbying Code of Conduct, as well as the lobbying register, which provided transparency in relation to that. It is the Albanese Labor government which has established the National Anti-Corruption Commission, has increased funding for the ANAO and has strengthened whistleblower protection. So, when you are looking at which party is on the side of government transparency and government accountability, it is the party which is currently running the government.
