I move:

That the amendment be agreed to.

The amendment implements the only recommendation of the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee on the bill, namely the Crimes Amendment (Working With Children—Criminal History) Bill 2009. The amendment will insert an additional provision for further review of the legislation, commencing no later than 30 June 2013. The review is in addition to a current provision for a review to commence no later than 30 June 2011. This amendment will ensure that the operation of the provision is subject to comprehensive review and will allow evidence about the legislation’s operation to be fully assessed.

Question agreed to.
