I thank Senator Carr for his contribution yesterday and again today. For many of the reasons that Senator Carr has been so clear on in this place, the government also will not be supporting any of the amendments before the Senate on these bills. I thank all senators for their contributions on this bill. But, as Senator Carr has just noted, these are customs amendment bills, and the majority of the debate has been a re-prosecution of issues that go to the heart of the TPP itself and not to these customs amendment bills. So, as I said, I thank all senators for their contributions to this debate, and the government will not be supporting the amendments before the Senate.
