I will now deal with the amendments circulated by the Australian Greens on sheet 1521. The question is that schedules 2, 3 and 4 stand as printed.

The Australian Greens oppose d schedules 2, 3 and 4 in the following terms—

(3) Schedule 2, page 4 (lines 1 to 10), to be opposed.

(4) Schedule 3, page 5 (lines 1 to 9), to be opposed.

(5) Schedule 4, page 6 (line 1) to page 7 (line 12), to be opposed.

Question agreed to.

by leave—In the interests of time, instead of calling a division—and I acknowledge the encouragement of the Chief Government Whip!—I simply ask the Australian Greens' position opposing the schedules be recorded.

(2) Clause 2, page 2 (table item 3), omit "Schedules 3 to 6", substitute "Schedules 5 and 6".
