Senator BOLKUS (10:21 AM) —by leave—I move opposition amendments (4) to (7):

(4) Amendment (4), clause 6, omit paragraph (b), substitute:

(b) to restore, protect, conserve and interpret the environmental and heritage values of Trust land;

(5) Amendment (4), clause 6, after paragraph (b), insert:

(ba) to ensure ongoing public ownership of Trust land;

(6) Amendment (4), clause 6, omit paragraph (d), substitute:

(d) to establish and manage Trust land on behalf of the Commonwealth as a transitional arrangement before transfer to New South Wales;

(7) Amendment (4), clause 6, omit paragraph (f), substitute:

(f) to co-operate with New South Wales, affected councils and the community in furthering the above objects.

I have just spoken to these amendments, so I do not need to speak again other than to ask the minister if he is in a position to accept them and, if he is going to be difficult about it, to explain to the Senate why.
