I too would like to put Labor's position that we are very sympathetic to the issue that Pauline Hanson's One Nation party has drawn to the attention of the chamber through these amendments. However, it did arrive into the whole consultation very, very late, and one of the important things in legislative care is to make sure that there is adequate consultation, so we will not be supporting these amendments at this point in time.
