I indicate that Labor intends to support amendment R(3) on 5062 moved by Senator Murray. We agree with the views put by Senator Murray—particularly given that there is legislation, as I understand he and Senator Abetz indicated, before the Western Australian parliament. In other words, there is already a live issue of this legislation before the chamber potentially overriding legislation which could shortly become law in Western Australia and in other jurisdictions. We think it is appropriate to support Senator Murray’s amendments.

Question put:

That the amendments (Senator Murray’s) be agreed to.
