This follows on from the work of the Migrant Workers' Taskforce report in March of this year. That report, of course, involved extensive consultation and engagement. In terms of engagement with the drafting and legislating process, I can't firmly commit to the Senate in terms of what the next steps of consultation will be. Obviously, any legislation that comes forward will ultimately be the subject of Senate committee processes and the like, but there may be earlier consultation mechanisms that are deployed as well. I can seek to come back to the opposition on that at a later stage.
