I can give Senator Xenophon the assurance he seeks there. It is indeed in the letter that I tabled earlier, although I appreciate that he may not have had the opportunity to look at the detail, given the timing. I refer him to the second page and the third last paragraph:

Accordingly, the government supports in principle the submission of the bill within 12 months of its enactment to the Senate Economics Legislation Committee for review of its efficacy and whether it has achieved its intended policy objectives. I understand that the appropriate process in this matter is for the Senate to resolve to refer such and the government would support such a referral.’
