My understanding is that this amendment is not being opposed by the government, but I will let Senator Conroy indicate that. In regard to Senator Ludlam’s contribution, whilst nobody wishes to see a rolling series of reviews, the opposition does accept that a good, thorough review of the operation of this component of the act is reasonable, and 3½ years in which to ensure such review is undertaken is appropriate and acceptable, and we will support this amendment.
