The opposition opposes schedule 2 in the following terms:

(14) Schedule 2, items 29 to 31, page 35 (line 24) to page 42 (line 16), to be opposed.

(15) Schedule 2, item 37, page 44 (lines 11 to 14), to be opposed.

(16) Schedule 2, Division 2, page 44 (line 15) to page 46 (line 11), to be opposed.

(17) Schedule 2, items 40 and 41, page 46 (lines 16 to 21), to be opposed.

(19) Schedule 2, items 45 to 50, page 47 (lines 4 to 24), to be opposed.

These amendments go to the question of TPVs. The Labor Party remains—I have stated this position very clearly—absolutely opposed to TPVs.

Senator Brandis interjecting—

Sorry, what was that? Here we go! Lord Brandis wants to cut in. Lord Brandis, who sits there in his slothful manner, wants to cut in and wants to question whether or not we have real conviction on this matter.
