I appreciate the government has already moved to deal with the issue of subrogation, which, as the parliamentary secretary will know, came up time and again. The issue that came up time and again by a number of organisations—and the chamber has a deep interest in this at the moment—was why the CEO still needs those powers to compel participants to seek compensation. One of the key issues that came out during the Senate inquiry was the fact that the CEO could compel. That is why the argument was there for subrogation. Can the parliamentary secretary explain why those powers are still necessary given the subrogation issue has been dealt with?
