On the Nick Xenophon Team, I am not wanting to speak for them but clearly they were keen to see the government's childcare reforms legislated. They understood that the government needed to identify savings in order to pay for it. We were able to reach an agreement on which savings they might be prepared to support. Obviously, there was a whole range of savings that they were not prepared to support. We reached agreements on those that they were prepared to support and that is reflected in this bill that we have introduced today.
