Senator Murray did say he did not agree with the Minister for Health and Ageing taking the responsibility, as the Greens would have it, from the junk food companies. After the Democrats vote against this amendment, it will be left to the junk food companies. The difference between what Senator Murray is saying and what I am saying is this: we will be supporting their measure because it is important we get a breakthrough, but they are not supporting this Greens measure, which is equally sensible.

Question put:

That the amendments (Senator Bob Brown’s) be agreed to.
