The opposition finds itself in circumstances where the amendments moved by Senator Murray, except for part 7 of our amendments on sheet 5028, are identical—that is, we are proposing the same changes to subsections 46(1), 46(1A), 46(2) and 46(3) of the Trade Practices Act 1974 and to section 51AC, with the insertion of a new 51AC(3)(aa) and a new 51AC(4)(aa). An additional opposition amendment on sheet 5028 proposes to insert a new clause entitled ‘Directions by Parliament to monitor prices, costs and profits of an industry’. So we are obviously thinking in the same way.
