I want to try and allay your fears, Senator Xenophon. We would not be putting up a piece of legislation that we were of the view had the flaws that you think are there. I will write to you to assure you that this legislation mimics other state-based legislation but also some Commonwealth legislation in the way that this element is treated. But please be assured that we are quite confident that this will not result in what you are expecting.
