I accept all the observations made by the honourable member. We don't have draft legislation. The reality is that the translation of all that data—and I acknowledge it's a mountain—the translation of that mountain into operational legislation is the most critical phase of the process, and it has yet to happen. That's no criticism of anyone. I think these processes inevitably take time. The reality is that when this is reduced to a draft piece of legislation it will be appropriate and desirable, in my submission, for it to be given an opportunity for public scrutiny and comment. That's simply not possible except in a minimalist way in the timelines within which this committee is now having to work.
