Labor supports amendment (1). We've been glad to work with the government, particularly with the assistant minister and his staff, in considering a range of changes, some of which were put forward by Labor and some of which have been raised by the waste, recycling and resource management sector. Amendment (1) makes a change to the package of bills that essentially adjusts the timing of the bill, in terms of when it becomes operational. It's something that the assistant minister explained in our engagement with him about it. It seems to be an understandable change that means that the package comes into effect in a more timely way, and Labor will support amendment (1).
