At this point, what exactly is not ready about it? We know that this fund will take some time to set up. We know the banks are considering it. There's work going on. It begs the question: why would you ask the Senate to vote on it when we are blind as to the mandate? Indeed, if there is a draft mandate that is in existence that you've provided to Labor, why would you simply not table that in draft form, understanding all the caveats around that, and provide it to the Senate?
