I and on behalf of Senator Allison move a final amendment, amendment (1) on page 4863:

(1)    Clause 37, page 14, (line13), at the end of subclause (1), add “, including a summary description of any advice or reports provided by the Advisory Council to the Chief Executive Officer”.

The amendment relates to making the advice by the advisory council public. No doubt this has been moved by the Australian Democrats in the interests of transparency and accountability. I understand it has some support. I commend the amendment to the Senate.
