Senator BIRMINGHAM (6:05 PM) —I thank Senator Xenophon and Senator Ludlam for moving these amendments. The opposition has considered these amendments. As I indicated when we were having a more general discussion about the broad range of amendments the government had proposed and especially the broad range of amendments encompassed within government amendment (2), we are sympathetic to some of the amendments being pursued by Senator Xenophon and Senator Ludlam. These amendments fall within that category. With that, I am pleased in this instance to be brief. There will be other amendments that we will debate a little more substantially but I indicate our support for these amendments.
