I indicate that the Greens support Senator Xenophon’s amendment. We would prefer to retain the reference to complementary medicine, but I can see that we are going to go down in a screaming heap, so we will not call a division. But, as I said, we support the original amendment proposed by Senator Xenophon and we just put on record the fact that we would prefer to retain the reference to a person with expertise. We are talking about someone with expertise, not somebody from the industry or a representative. We would prefer to keep that in.
