I thank the Minister for his response and I congratulate him on the work done to date. As noted by the Indecon operating model review in 2021, the sector is characterised by a complex landscape of stakeholders and functions which has led to fragmentation, duplication and inefficiencies. The proposal to establish a single agency is very welcome. Will the Minister be bringing legislation to the House and, if so, when? What will be the key functions of the agency? Has he given any consideration to establishing a broad-based interim board soon to advance the work of his public servant group?
