To assist the committee, I am going to try and ask these questions in subsections. The first set of questions I want to ask Senator Xenophon or Senator Siewert goes to the question of enforcement. Could you explain to the committee how you envisage enforcement occurring under the act, if it comes into effect with the proposed amendments. That goes to the question: is this the way to achieve the outcome that we are all looking for? If you could explain how the enforcement regime would work, that would be helpful.
