Can I ask the minister to give us some more information as to what she believes is appropriate?

We've been asked to pass this legislation—legislation that Labor, the opposition, believes does not have sufficient transparency or parliamentary oversight. So we're here in this committee stage to try to get some answers to allow some of that transparency, not only for the senators and the parliament but for those in the community who are very interested in this piece of legislation. So far we haven't really been able to get any answers to be able to alleviate any concerns that the opposition may have. So I ask the minister whether she can elaborate on her answer.
