I'll now deal with the amendments circulated by Senator David Pocock. I understand that senators have requested that the question be put separately on sheet 2300. The question is that the amendments on sheet 2300 be agreed to.

Senator David Pocock's circulated amendments—

(1) Clause 8, page 7 (after line 4), at the end of the clause, add:

Government response to report

(10) Within 3 months after the report is published on the Department's website under subsection (9):

(a) the Joint Ministers must cause a written statement to be prepared setting out the Commonwealth Government's response to the Committee's report, including its response to each recommendation; and

(b) the Minister must cause the statement to be published on the Department's website.

Question negatived.
