I think I dealt with this in answering Senator Pocock's question, because I wanted to be clear that the government has considered issues around constitutionality, that we have taken advice and that we are confident in the advice and the way we have responded with this amendment.

In answer to Senator Pocock's earlier question, the Minister for Social Services agreed to the draft text for the schedule 5 amendment on 24 October 2025.
