I thank the minister for his explanation. But, just to be clear, what has been outlined is that goods can be manufactured in the country of origin where that country decides that the particular goods carry such a dangerous risk to the citizens of that country that the regulators in that country do not allow the use of those goods for that particular purpose, and yet those particular goods can be imported into Australia and used for a purpose that is unlawful and outlawed in the country of origin. I think that puts Australians at risk. I think that is the wrong policy, and I commend these amendments to the House. I hope that they have support.
