That is correct: it is the amendment on sheet 1071 and it does go to consultation. Currently, the minister 'may consult' with persons or organisations in relation to aspects of the bill—industry groups, consumer groups. We've moved as an amendment to the section that the minister 'must consult' with one or more persons, rather than 'may'. Sorry, I thought I'd clarified that last night. But we are about to vote on the amendment on sheet 1071.
The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Thank you, Senator Whish-Wilson, for the clarification.
