I indicate that Centre Alliance will be supporting the bill, but I will call out the logic of Senator Watt, in that there is no delay if you simply indicate support. You don't have to wait to make something perfect if something is made better by the movement of an amendment. We have also agreed amendments and worked constructively with the government in relation to this bill. But that shouldn't fetter this chamber trying to go a little bit further to make it a little bit more perfect.

The CHAIR: The question is that amendments (1) to (7) on sheet 8954, as moved by Senator McKim, be agreed to.

Question negatived.
