Labor are satisfied that the amendment we have negotiated with the government addresses our primary concern. We will not be supporting any further amendments, because we want to facilitate a speedy passage of the legislation so that the measures relating to the provisional approval pathway can commence as soon as possible. The negotiations that have taken place and the fact that the government have sought to amend their own legislation are evidence to us that, at this point in time, we will support this legislation, and it should be passed as soon as possible.
