Thank you for withdrawing that amendment, Senator Lambie. I think the government certainly acknowledges some of the issues around our defence forces that you've raised, and we do have a range of strategies underway to deal with that. However, our view is that there are a range of different occupations that these new visas can make a big contribution towards—rather than restricting them in the way that you're putting forward.
