Great. Head 9 uses the phrase, "It has come to light". Can the witnesses explain more about that and the rationale for the change? What came to light and what is the issue the Department is trying to solve? Is there not a risk of unintended consequences? Certainly we have had submissions from wide-ranging groups on this proposal. They are very concerned how this could have huge unintended consequences. It could be hugely disruptive in terms of renewable energy.
