Mr BURKE (Watson—Minister for the Arts, Minister for Home Affairs, Minister for Cyber Security, Minister for Immigration and Citizenship and Leader of the House) (11:06): I want to thank the member for Curtin for the engagement that's happened with the government, including with me, through question time as well, in raising concerns about this issue. The government will support this amendment.

It improves transparency and accountability for the effective exercise of the functions and powers of the restoration contributions holder. This amendment would require the minister to publish the annual report on the exercise of the restoration contributions holder's functions and powers on the department's website within 20 days of receiving that report from the restoration contributions holder.

One of the key pillars of these reforms is enshrining greater accountability and transparency in environmental decision-making, and this amendment speaks to that. Once again, and on behalf of the minister for the environment from the other place, I thank the member for Curtin for her constructive engagement on these reforms. Question agreed to.
