Thanks, but that didn't tell us anything we didn't know was the government's position already. But it does give me the opportunity to ask whether the minister can inform the committee as to who will be responsible for assessing whether there has been substantial compliance or substantial prejudice, in relation to defective notification, under section 22.

While you're taking some advice there, Minister, I do have a corollary question to that: how does the government justify an additional layer of administrative decision-making, given the fact that there are already massive and excessive delays in visa processing in Australia?
