Thank you, Senator Dastyari. As you correctly pointed out, this Economics References Committee report was tabled in December 2015. You would be aware that the legislation was drafted, I believe, over three years ago now. Obviously, the legislation is in the same form as it was when introduced, given that it was a double dissolution trigger.

In relation to the question that you asked: my understanding is that there will be amendments moved by some of the crossbenchers which will address in further detail the concerns which you raised.
