The Greens had some concerns about the word 'significant' because it depends on the perspective of the person speaking as to what the meaning of 'significant' is. I am pleased that Senator Xenophon has made that change to 'material'. We will agree with that. That does not preclude, of course, the discussion about what is a material impact. Nevertheless, I think it is a bit clearer and I support it.
