I will not take much time at all. What the opposition is seeking to do is give the government the opportunity to reconsider this in the other place and the opportunity to fix this bill to reduce the impact on small business. I am an eternal optimist. I like to think the best about people and that the government might take this amendment seriously and consider it. It is of a different nature to other amendments that have been put in relation to this legislation. We are simply giving the government the opportunity to consider the impact on small business again, and I would hope that the government would want to make sure that any impact or impost on small business was minimised.
