I know I beat Senator Joyce to the call, but that is a rare event when I do. Further to what Senator Ludlam has said, I indicate that I do not support the opposition’s amendments but I do share concerns about the issue of scope creep, as it has been described. I think the government has clarified what the intent of that scope will be. I do not want to put Senator Ludlam on the spot and he may want to take this on notice for later on in the debate: if it is apparent that the intent of the current framework of the bill when the market is operating is not working as intended, despite the best drafting possible, does that mean that the Australian Greens after 1 July will be seeking to revisit these issues as a matter of some urgency?
