(a) Yes.
(b) It is anticipated that the legislation will be presented to Parliament during the current sitting.
(c) No, the Bill will not be passed due to limited time remaining for this year's session in Parliament, however introduction of the Bill is sufficient to comply with Commonwealth requirements.
