We appreciate the support of the Greens and Senator Leyonhjelm in this regard. I just listened to the minister's address and noticed that, when she was describing this bill, she used the term 'serious and organised crime'. I am happy if you want to have another look at that. Those were the words that the minister used. I am sure she did not mistakenly use those words. She was doing something quite deliberate.

All we on this side of the chamber are asking—and there is significant support for our amendments, Minister—is that she pick up the words she herself used just a few moments ago. I ask that the minister reconsider their opposition to our amendments, particularly in light of the comments that she herself has just made, and support the amendments that, obviously, have widespread support in the chamber.
