The government does not support the amendments. I notice, Senator Xenophon, that the Senate Economics Legislation Committee, of which you are a member, recommended that there be no amendments to this bill and recommended that it be passed. At the moment in the chamber we are going around in circles, and we are delaying the passage of important legislation that will ensure multinationals pay their fair share of tax in Australia.

The CHAIRMAN: The question is that the amendments moved by Senator Whish-Wilson on sheet 7796 be agreed to.
