On the student accommodation provisions, which I support, is the issue that the definition of an "owner" in the Bill we passed may allow the likes of a shell company, for example, to get some kind of permission and then restructure itself so that the terms of the original Act would not apply? Can the Department give us a little more information about the kind of loopholes that are available? I think I understand it but I want to make sure I understand it properly.
