What I am seeking is an assurance. My understanding, from what you have just said—although it was slightly different from what Senator Abetz said—is that that will be dealt with. You did not clarify whether that will be dealt with by regulation. I understand that there will be a regulation when you are seeking advice from the Attorney-General. Senator Abetz said that that would be done by regulation. What I am seeking is an assurance that that regulation can override provisions in the Legislative Instruments Act to ensure that sections 10 and 12 of the heritage act will not automatically cease.
