I will now deal with amendments circulated by Senator David Pocock. The question is that the amendments on sheets 2284, 2287 and 2288 be agreed to.

Senator David Pocock's circulated amendments—

SHEET 2284

(1) Schedule 1, item 4, page 6 (line 3), omit paragraph 36C(4)(a), substitute:

(a) the person is aged 18 or over;

(2) Schedule 1, item 4, page 6 (lines 27 and 28), omit paragraph 36C(6)(a).

_____

SHEET 2287

(1) Schedule 1, item 4, page 6 (after line 3), after paragraph 36C(4)(a), insert:

(aa) the person is not an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person;

(2) Schedule 1, item 4, page 8 (line 12), at the end of subsection 36D(4), add:

; (d) information about whether the person is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person.

_____

SHEET 2288

(1) Schedule 1, item 4, page 6 (line 4), omit paragraph 36C(4)(b), substitute:

(b) the person is an Australian citizen, but did not become an Australian citizen:

(i) upon the person's birth or under section 12; or

(ii) under Subdivision B of Division 2 of this Part because the person was eligible under subsection 21(8);

(2) Schedule 1, item 4, page 8 (lines 25 to 29), omit subsection 36D(8), substitute:

Australian citizens to which this section applies

(8) This section applies in relation to a person who is an Australian citizen, other than a person who became an Australian citizen:

(a) upon the person's birth or under section 12; or

(b) under Subdivision B of Division 2 of this Part because the person was eligible under subsection 21(8).

Question negatived.

By leave, the Greens and Senator Pocock will be recorded as supporting those—although, Senator Pocock, since you did move it, I imagine that we could make that assumption.

Bill reported without amendments.
