by leave—I move the Greens amendments (3), (4), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12), (13), (15) and (16) on sheet 5394:

(3)    Schedule 1, item 7, page 4 (line 11), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(4)    Schedule 1, item 7, page 4 (after line 19), at the end of the definition of family law order, add:

             (e)    a parenting plan within the meaning of 63C of the Family Law Act 1975; or

              (f)    any other formal or informal care arrangement.

(7)    Schedule 1, item 15, page 5 (line 20), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(8)   Schedule 1, item 16, page 5 (line 25), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(10)  Schedule 1, item 20, page 6 (line 25), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(11)  Schedule 1, item 21, page 6 (line 30), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(12)  Schedule 1, item 23, page 7 (line 4), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(13)  Schedule 1, item 24, page 7 (line 9), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(15)  Schedule 1, item 31, page 8 (line 5), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

(16)  Schedule 1, item 32, page 8 (line 10), after “family law order”, insert “or care arrangement”.

These amendments also seek to change the definition of family law order in a similar way to what we tried to do in Social Security Amendment (2007 Measures No. 1) Bill 2007, so I will not bother repeating the arguments. But I would just like to ask the minister about his previous answer. I understand that he said that the change in the family law orders was the first step in dealing with the kinship care issue. Does he have a time line for the process of reviewing the statistics and making further possible changes?
