Regulatory Reform Omnibus Bill 2026

Senator HUME (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (13:14): The Assistant Treasurer told the National Press Club that Treasury was analysing the allocation of the levy in consultation with stakeholders, and you've just repeated that, which is fine. I want to understand whether Treasury has provided that advice to the minister already or whether it is ongoing.

Given it's such a substantial special levy and it has been foreseeable for some time, why is the urgency happening now?
