Mr STEPHEN SMITH (1:02 PM) —Again, to echo the remarks of the Attorney-General, so far as the opposition is concerned, because it refers to the establishment of a national stem cell bank, the amendment would on our side of course be subject to a conscience vote. It is simply to add the applicability of establishing a national stem cell bank to clause 25 of the review provisions. It does not in any way detract from the review or add in any way to the pros and cons of the establishment or otherwise of a national stem cell bank. On that basis, the opposition view would be to support the amendment, but on the basis of a reference to stem cells, subject to a conscience vote on our side.

Question agreed to.
