Senator LEES (6:15 PM) —I am happy to explain, as they are my amendments. I believe that there were some oversights between the two bills. There has been quite some debate and discussion.

Perhaps I can help Senator Allison by explaining that examples of legislation that have this binding clause in them include the National Environment Protection Measures (Implementation) Act,the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act and, as has already been mentioned by Senator O'Brien, the Diesel and Alternative Fuels Grants Scheme Act.
