To respond quickly to Senator Ananda-Rajah's question, it is the case that this bill removes the caps which were previously in place in relation to those services. But I can indicate—and I know Senator Pocock was keen to have his amendment dealt with—that the government has been in discussions with the opposition about the approach we might take to some of the questions in Senator Pocock's amendment. Accordingly, we are not in a position at this time to support his amendment, and the government will not be voting in support of it.
