On Senator Carr's question with respect to the first amendments that I moved in relation to adding a new schedule 2A to the bill to progressively increase Australia's humanitarian program, I advise Senator Carr that this will be done by way of legislative instrument if the bill passes the Senate—or when the bill passes Senate—and this amendment enables the minister to sign off on the legislative instrument.
