The question now is that amendment (1) on sheet SK114 and the amendment on sheet SK115 be agreed to.

Government's circulated amendments—

SHEET SK114

(1) Clause 2, page 2 (table item 4), omit the table item, substitute:

_____

SHEET SK115

(1) Schedule 1, item 130, page 53 (after line 18), after clause 88D, insert:

88E Extended meaning of employee and employer

For the purposes of clauses 88 to 88D, if:

(a) a person carries on an activity at a facility; and

(b) an individual is a contractor of the person;

the person is taken to be an employer and the individual is taken to be anemployee of the person.

Question agreed to.

The Australian Greens have circulated amendments on sheet 2425 revised that are identical to the government amendments that we just dealt with. I will therefore not put the question on those amendments. I will now deal with the amendments circulated by the opposition on sheet 2490. The question is that subsections 790E(1A) to (1D) and subsection 790E(6) in item 6 of schedule 2 stand as printed.

The opposition opposed item 6 of schedule 2 in the following terms

(2) Schedule 2, item 6, page 61 (line 23) to page 63 (line 2), subsections 790E(1A) to (1D) to be opposed.

(3) Schedule 2, item 6, page 64 (lines 10 to 21), subsection 790E(6) to be opposed.
