Senator MURRAY (2:12 PM) —I thought Senator McGauran made some excellent points. He indicated that, since the 1993 act and the 1996 act, progress has been made, but this bill seeks to take away the mechanisms that allowed for that progress to be made. What the previous amendments did was try to put back those mechanisms which would allow more progress to be made and to put into the legislation the recommendations of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Ms Pru Goward, and her team. I think Senator McGauran made an excellent case for why he should have supported the previous amendments.
