I know there was an amendment to be moved by the Greens reflecting their opposition to schedule 3, which I think Senator Hanson-Young covered in the debate. I have indicated on behalf of the government we are obviously looking to maintain schedule 3. I think the opposition indicated their support for that, but obviously they might want to indicate their position. It is not a substantive amendment; it is only an opposition to the schedule and, as I say, Senator Hanson-Young articulated her concerns during the debate. I am happy to take your direction, Chair, as to whether or not we proceed. I think the general view was that we were keen to finish the bill.

Following on from what the minister said, yes, we do support the inclusion of that schedule and oppose the amendment.

Bill agreed to.

Bill reported without amendment; report adopted.
