Senator TAMBLING (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health and Aged Care.) (1:17 AM) —The government is opposed to this amendment. The bill already provides in clause 67 that people do not incur any civil liability if they give information to the regulator and if another person suffers loss or damage as a result. It appears that Senator Brown is including an additional subclause that mirrors the existing clause but is subject to the additional requirement that the information be given in good faith. We do not believe the amendment substantively adds to the existing provisions, and we do not support it.

Amendment not agreed to.
