The Senator will be aware that under Standing Order 168, the Minister will be required to provide a report on the publishing of this Bill. As indicated, a full and extensive review of the personal insolvency regime is also being completed this year. On the specific statistics sought by the Senator, relevant statistics will be included in the post-enactment report on the implementation of the Bill. I am not in a position to say that I can give them to the Senator at this stage, as the Department would need to engage with the insolvency service on the feasibility and added value of providing the specific information set out in the proposed amendment. I will get an answer on that and give it to the Senator. I cannot guarantee I can get her the information she seeks as I am not sure if it is technically available. Notwithstanding that, I will get the Senator an answer and perhaps we can engage further from that point.
