The most important thing that we think we can continue to do is to keep hearing from advocates and from survivors or their nominees about how we can continue to progress improvements to the scheme. I can assure the Senate that further consideration and consultation will continue to take place on the recommendations that we need to be working on, with the states and territories, and we'll provide a full response to all recommendations in early 2022. But, as I said, the most important thing is to continue with the survivor focused nature of what we're doing. Most of the recommendations require the support of the states and territories, and so we will continue to work with those states and territories as an absolute matter of priority. We're also, though, committed to working with survivors and other stakeholders. Our government is absolutely committed to working with survivors to ensure that this scheme is as focused as it can be on providing them with the redress that they so justly deserve.
