On a procedural point: it seems to me that, if other participants in this debate agree, we should allow a rearrangement of the order of amendments. There are the Australian Green amendments, then Senator Xenophon’s amendment and then a government amendment. It seems to me, reading the mood of the chamber, that it is most likely that the government amendment will get up. In those circumstances, if we were to allow Senator Ludwig to move his amendment and discuss that, that would obviate the other three.
