Senator, I think your question contains multiple elements. I will answer it this way, and you may wish to seek further clarification. The government is keenly aware that passing this bill is important to allow the sector to commence the transition. We have done as much as we can to signal as clearly as we can what the nature of those requirements would be by publishing draft final rules. We have been very clear in our communications, and the Senate inquiry into the bill drew many of the same conclusions. It has been important for this bill to be passed as quickly as possible. That is why we've sought to progress it over this fortnight. But yes; we do need to register the final rules, and we acknowledge that.

Question agreed to.
