As I indicated previously, Labor will be opposing these amendments and further amendments. I refer to the comments I made in respect of the previous amendments. Labor believes that there is a strong public interest in putting these privacy protections in place as soon as possible. So Labor will not be supporting any amendments that will delay the passage of this bill, including these amendments.

The CHAIR: The question is that amendments (1) to (4) on sheet 8956, move together by leave by Senator Patrick, be agreed to. Those of that opinion say aye and against say no. I believe the noes have it. Senator McKim, I'm assuming you want the Greens support for these amendments noted, and I'm assuming that's for Senator Patrick as well. So we will do that.
