Senator BARTLETT (12:44 PM) —I move:

That the House of Representatives be requested to make the following amendment:

(1) Schedule 2, page 36 (after line 9), before item 2, insert:

1A After paragraph 8(8)(p)

Insert:

(pa) an amount paid by the Republic of Chile under the laws of that Republic by way of compensation to a victim of the military dictatorship which ruled during the period 1973 to 1990;

I will not be able to respond in detail, in the 35 seconds available to me, to the minister's comments. Whilst I would be generally supportive of dealing with issues promptly, I think this is an important issue. It is not just a matter of trying to be warm and fuzzy, and certainly the people affected are not just wanting to feel warm and fuzzy. It is an important issue, and it does need some proper examination. So in that context, rather than give a very rushed 10-second outline of it, it is appropriate to simply move the request for amendment at this stage and address it more fully when we return to the committee stage later on.

Progress reported.
