I have circulated an amendment in the chamber, as I indicated I would. The Greens oppose schedule 3 and seek to exclude it from the Family Assistance and Other Legislation Amendment (2008 Budget and Other Measures) Bill 2009. As an aside, could I suggest to the government: could you do a bit better naming of some of these bills, because we have the ‘further 2008 budget measures’ and I am sure that soon we will have the ‘other further amendments’ and then the ‘other, other further amendments’. It does make it easier for us poor legislators if the names are slightly different.
