I support the opposition spokesman, the honourable member for Jagajaga, on these amendments and urge the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs to adopt them. I think they are eminently sensible. There are a lot of things in here that give me cause for concern. I have had discussions with Bev O’Brien and Maureen Power, two very sensible and intelligent ladies from North Queensland, and I agree with their position that there are a lot of things here that are worrying. A review in a year’s time seems to me eminently sensible and I urge the minister to accept the proposal.
