I will move Greens amendments (13) on sheet 7482. I am horrified that Senator Conroy appears to be about to vote one of (13) and (14) down, so hopefully I have got government support. I move Greens amendment (13):

(13) Schedule 1, item 10, page 8 (line 26), after "consumer", insert ", academic, professional".

This is again not a set of handcuffs but guidance to Infrastructure Australia as to who it consults with and also to ensure that project proponents are consulting with certain categories of people. I would not have thought that that was too much to ask. We will test the will of the chamber now, as to whether Australian Greens amendment (13) will prevail. I strongly commend it to the chamber.
