We support these amendments. They are improvements to the bill and Labor is happy to support them. They clarify the requirements of disclosure to the Law Enforcement Integrity Commissioner when the Ombudsman becomes aware of a corruption issue in the course of an investigation, so obviously we are happy to support them. In fact, it was a change called for under recommendation 7 of the report by the Senate committee that dealt with this bill. This is logical. If we want to give the new body primary responsibility for investigating corrupt conduct of law enforcement agencies, then this is a sensible change.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.
