Senator CHERRY (10:14 AM) —by leave—I want to note for the record that the Democrats requested that the Labor Party amend this motion to include the regulation of the overseas trade in live animals, and that was declined. We are supporting this motion on the basis that it is worth looking at the quarantine issues, but we will be bringing back to the Senate at an appropriate time a request to look at the broader issue of the regulation of the live export trade. We would hope that at that stage the Labor Party would extend to us the same courtesy it is extending today in supporting that motion.
