As I've already stated, I've already outlined the work that we are doing in relation to the positive duty and the better understanding of it in relation to the Work Health and Safety Act. I've already met with the relevant ministers, and we are already progressing that work. We need to see today whether or not this bill passes and in what form this bill passes, and then we need to understand the impact of the amendments that we are making today. So this is an evolving process. As I've already stated, this is the government's first response to the Kate Jenkins report, and there is other work that is ongoing. I think I've been very upfront about that.
