I would like to put on notice that the Australian Conservatives will support this amendment. Perhaps for different reasons, Senator Hanson-Young happens to agree with me. We think schemes like this are open to abuse and open to all sorts of rorting. I have given the government the benefit of the doubt; the minister has given us various assurances that any potential loopholes have been closed. I think it is a precautionary measure to have a scheduled review, and so I am delighted to be supporting this amendment.
