Thanks, Senator Pocock. And just to be clear, whilst I'm on my feet: the government will not be supporting the amendments from Senator Hanson-Young. In relation to the proposed amendments to establish a national regulator, the government has a longstanding shared responsibility for the regulation of gambling with the states and territories, and we continue to work constructively with those jurisdictions to address harms from online gambling.

Then, I can point to the significant changes we've made as part of this bill, which go to complement that, including the important reforms that will give ACMA more powers to act. So we believe that across a whole range of measures we are making significant reforms that are going to strengthen the hand of ACMA to hold these gambling companies to account, and that is something that is important in this legislation.
