The government will not be opposing this amendment. I would point out that Minister Catherine King represents a proud region in Ballarat and does a fantastic job advocating for regional Australia as a member of the cabinet. She is someone who is really proud of her history working in that area. So the government ensure that we have really strong voices from regional Australia. We're happy to support this amendment to ensure that there is someone with some regional heritage in the Infrastructure Australia commission. We're ensuring that, in many ways, we're delivering for regional Australia at the same time through other government priorities as well.
Question agreed to.
