I thank Senator Tyrrell for her question and will say that I have a little bit of knowledge on this—although I suspect that my colleague Senator Gallagher, as in most things, has more. I am aware of this issue because it came to light, as you correctly identify, under the previous government and it was an issue at estimates that we asked some questions about, and some of the issues that you refer to were raised by people in the context of preparing for that estimates round. I understand that that measure, along with a number of other measures that were announced by the previous government, is under review and will be considered in the context of the budget preparation.
