What we do have is, you know, we track when policies that we've recommended have been picked up.
And, you know, I think some of those on the trade front and others have been picked up, some from our more recent policies.
productivity reports that we prepared for the government at the end of last year have been picked up as well.
So it certainly would not be the entirety of those long lists, but some of the things that we have advocated for over the decade have helped shape the reform agenda.
I mean, so I kind of group them.
There's sort of 15 broad areas within some of those.
You have multiple recommendations.
So we have seen some movement on those, Alan.
So there was one around speeding up and simplifying federal environmental approvals and the government legislation on those.
That through the parliament at the end of last year, that's actually really critically important.
It goes to our capacity to deliver housing, to deliver clean energy, to deliver critical minerals projects.
So we think that's been a really substantive and important reform.
We had what I think was a really important recommendation on artificial intelligence and the regulatory environment for it.
What we said is, you know, there are a lot of big growth opportunities with AI.
Of course, there are risks, but a lot of those are sort of supercharged versions of existing risks.
So addressing gaps in existing legislative and regulatory frameworks rather than coming in with a new approach.
overarching AI Act which had the potential to be duplicative and very burdensome and the government's essentially signalled that that's the approach they're going to take so you know that's another one I think and then some of the recommendations from the care report on local commissioning federal state governments working together to solve local problems has featured in the health reform agreement that's just happened so you know I would say
I've certainly seen substantial progress in three of the 15 broad areas.
We only handed the final reports to government at the end of last year.
Yeah, look, I think sometimes we just have short attention spans and we move on after things have happened too quickly.
