Senator SHERRY (Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate)(6.01 p.m.) —It is clear that this amendment is an improvement on the bill. The opposition deals with this issue in schedule 11 in opposition amendment No. 201, and I draw the attention of the Senate to the notes that I had incorporated at the beginning of this schedule.

That amendment is the opposition's preferred approach to this issue. We think it is the most sensible approach. Nevertheless, because the Greens (WA) amendment is an improvement on the bill, we will vote in support of it.
