I want to ask the minister if the government have an expectation that the revenue that flows from these deals will be spent in Australia—I just want to indicate I'll be supporting this amendment. It does create a minimum level of content that would be in any annual report. It doesn't prohibit further explanation by companies; it simply sets a minimum standard and, right now, the minimum is nothing. So this does more good than harm.
