I can't give a timeframe. I'm sorry, Senator Allman-Payne. But work will be undertaken by the Minister for Social Services, and once that is finalised, if there are any further amendments that are required, it would have to come here via legislation. I would say that we are trying to do a lot in the social security space, including on debt reform, which is contained in this bill—the first big stages of that—which is, I think, a serious and genuine attempt by the government to address some of these problems that have been longstanding.
