This is my last question on this because I'm mindful that other senators may have questions. Minister, you keep using the term 'Australian businesses' but it's not run—

Senator Cormann interjecting—

You've just interjected that it is an Australian business, but it's not actually run by people you consider Australian. These are temporary protection visa holders. You have not given them permanent residency or any permanent status in Australia. So can you clarify that all of those supports that you have just outlined to the Senate are available to a business in Australia regardless of the visa status of the business owners.
