by leave—I move Family First amendments (1) to (4) on sheet 7757 together:

(1) Schedule 1, item 8, page 4 (line 7), omit "$100,000", substitute "$500,000".

(2) Schedule 1, item 8, page 4 (line 10), omit "$250,000", substitute "$1,500,000".

(3) Schedule 1, item 31, page 9 (line 21), omit "$100,000", substitute "$500,000".

(4) Schedule 1, item 31, page 9 (line 24), omit "$250,000", substitute "$1,500,000".

We have had a discussion about whether the threshold should be $100,000, whether it should be $300,000. I am moving that the threshold be $500,000 to get a more comprehensive sample of contractors who may be affected by this legislation. I ask honourable senators to support my amendments.

Question negatived.
