The Democrats support the intention of the Greens in relation to their opposition to section 60CC. Obviously, we are disappointed that our attempts to move what we believe is an improved version of that section have not been successful. We believe they would have more appropriately determined what was in the interests of children, so we support the Greens in this endeavour. We believe that the current construction of section 60CC will not necessarily provide beneficial outcomes for children, so we do not believe that this section should stand as printed.
