That is correct. There is nothing in this bill in particular that requires the standards to be tabled. As I said in my contribution and in my previous responses to you, these standards in this bill are about modernising the appointments framework to reflect community and workplace expectations for Commonwealth officials. We want to make sure that, if there is any unacceptable conduct, those officials are held to account.
