The Greens oppose schedule 1 in the following terms:

(1)    Schedule 1, item 7, page 7 (lines 4 to 7), ITEM TO BE OPPOSED.

(7)    Schedule 1, item 11, page 8 (lines 29 and 30), ITEM TO BE OPPOSED.

(9)    Schedule 1, item 13, page 9 (lines 1 and 2), ITEM TO BE OPPOSED.

(21)  Schedule 1, item 16, page 9 (lines 7 and 8), ITEM TO BE OPPOSED.

(22)  Schedule 1, items 19 and 20, page 9 (lines 19 to 22), ITEMS TO BE OPPOSED.

These amendments are in the spirit of those that we have just voted on, so I do not intend to go into them in detail apart from to pick up on a point that the minister raised, which is that what we are doing here is setting up an inconsistency in donations between people and corporations, and that is exactly what we intend.
