Going to the question of ISDS clauses, and in the context of the chamber just rejecting the contingent amendment that the Australian Greens put forward, I'm curious about the inconsistencies between the various mechanisms as outlined in each agreement, particularly between the Australia-Hong Kong FTA, which contains specific exclusions for tobacco, and the Peru agreement and the Indonesia agreement, which do not include those specific carve-outs. And I'm wondering why the government has signed up to an agreement with inconsistent ISDS mechanisms around tobacco?
