I am sorry, Senator Collins, there seems to be a little bit of confusion: my advice is to the contrary.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: We do have quite a broad suite of opposition amendments. We will deal with the initial question whilst the minister is getting advice.

I am told they are in government amendments (5) and (2), Senator Collins.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Just to be clear for the committee, we are considering government amendments. The question is that amendments (1), (3) to (6) and (8) to (21) on sheet EH158 be agreed to.

Question agreed to.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: I will now put the question in relation to amendments (2) and (7) on sheet EH158. The question is that items 19, 64 and 65 of schedule 1 stand as printed.

Question negatived.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: We will now go to opposition amendment (1) on sheet 7696.
