Minister, that is very interesting, given that the bill commences on royal assent, as is the normal process. How do you envisage the bill will be given effect to in that two-month period, given that folk who need to comply with it will not know what the goalposts are in terms of that definition? It is a fundamental definition that goes to when the trigger will apply at all. If you could shed some light on that, that would be very helpful.
