At the request of the member for Farrer, I move opposition amendment (1) as circulated in her name:

(1) Schedule 2, item 65, page 60 (line 3), omit "may", substitute "must".

The government does not support this very technical amendment. I can confirm for the member for Farrer that the government is drafting rules related to this bill which will be released for consultation next year.

The question is that the amendment be agreed to.
