The opposition will not be supporting these amendments. As I explained when I spoke to Senator Rhiannon's amendments, Labor has concerns about the legal efficacy of these application provisions and their interaction with the commencement provisions at clause (2).

I must say, at this stage and under this process, we have not been satisfied by that explanation, and for the same reasons that we opposed Senator Rhiannon's amendments we would oppose these.
