Senator LUDLAM (7:45 PM) —I will not seek to pursue this matter any further except to say that I would completely agree with every single word that Senator Parry just said in his reasons for opposing the amendment. We are not seeking to promote material that incites terrorism. I am hoping I am not going to have to repeat myself as we move every single one of these amendments. It is not what this is about. The fact here is that we have quite radically changed the burden of proof as to what could be considered offensive material if we consider that someone very young, someone very impressionable, someone with a completely different cultural background or someone with any kind of mental impairment at all could be persuaded to commit some kind of hypothetical act on the viewing of this material. I think we have quite grievously and unnecessarily expanded the range of material to include stuff that in no way could be considered to be inciting of terrorism. Senator Parry, I completely agree with your comments, but I do not think it was an argument against this particular amendment. Without further delay, I commend amendment (16) to the chamber.

Question negatived.
