Before I move to the second round starting with Senator Craughwell, I assure the witnesses that the report will be done before then. It will be out in the next few weeks and all the points RACO raised today will inform the recommendations in it. We may not agree about everything here - we do not; there are a lot of contested opinions about the triple lock - but we are all singing from the same hymn sheet on this.

I will ask two brief questions before I call Senator Craughwell. Why does RACO think the consultation has not happened before now? It does not make sense, especially as we have had the other experience. We often use the phrase "lessons are learned". It does not seem that lessons were learned from the previous Bill. Why? Is there a reason?
