Senator VANSTONE (Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs)(6.04 p.m.) —Senator Bolkus, I am advised that the term `immediate family member' generally means spouse or dependent child. You can see that this definition quite markedly extends that meaning quite dramatically from spouse and dependent children to include an adult child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling and so on. So you are quite right. This definition is at odds with the general definitions in the bill.
