Mr ANTHONY (Minister for Children and Youth Affairs) (8:47 PM) —I move:

That the amendment be agreed to.

The amendment is to section 11 of the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992 and deals with the release of the national residue survey information. It brings the act into line with other Commonwealth legislation that contains personal information. This will ensure that any personal information released to a relevant authority or appropriate person for the purpose of monitoring or regulation of residues and containments is used for that specific purpose only. The Democrats have proposed an amendment in the Senate to section 11(3) of the act which is consistent with the government's intentions in amending this act. For this reason, the government is prepared to accept this amendment.

Question agreed to.
