The Greens support Senator Murray’s amendments. We do not believe that it is the role of politicians to be interfering in the universal right of people to vote—including prisoners, with the complications that come with that. That said, I have a question about clause 8 of schedule 1. I will leave it to you, Chair, as to whether I can ask that now or after this matter has been dealt with.
