That is noted. In respect of the Public Interest Disclosure (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2013, the question is that amendments (1) and (2) on sheet 7421, circulated by the Australian Greens, be agreed to.

Australian Greens ' circulated amendments—

(1) Schedule 1, page 6 (after line 15), after item 7, insert:

7A After subsection 5(4)

  Insert:

  (4A) Paragraph (2)(d) does not prevent the Ombudsman from investigating action that, under subsection 5A(1), is taken to relate to a matter of administration.

(2) Schedule 1, item 8, page 6 (line 29), omit "it", substitute "the conduct, and any action taken by the agency in relation to the disclosure,".

Question negatived.
