From that contribution, it is quite clear that the member for Shortland has absolutely no idea what is in the government's amendments. Again, the whole issue is being treated with contempt. I ask the member for Lyne, whose bill it is: has he agreed to the government's amendments; and, if so, how does he reconcile those with a situation where the Auditor-General, under the legislation as amended by the government amendments, would have the automatic right to audit private sector companies but no automatic right to audit government business enterprises?
