by leave—I move Greens amendments (1) to (3) on sheet 7817:

(1) Schedule 1, item 14, page 5 (lines 6 to 8), to be opposed.

(2) Schedule 1, item 32, page 8 (lines 4 to 6), to be opposed.

(3) Schedule 1, item 87, page 14 (lines 24 to 27), to be opposed.

I did listen to and note the comments the minister made about the regulation impact statement. Unfortunately, it does not address the issues of our concerns. We believe that this amendment would in fact strengthen the regulatory process and protections. As I said, often it is the best explanation of why changes are being made, so we believe that this amendment would be a stronger approach than the approach that the minister outlined during her contribution. I commend the amendments to the chamber.
