I can indicate that the government is supportive of this amended amendment. I thank the Greens for their discussion with us on the wording to enable that to occur. The only caveat I place on it is that, as I indicated to Senator Siewert, given the nature of this bill we obviously will need to have consultation with the states on these issues. With that caveat, the government indicates its support for the amendment.
