I can indicate to the Democrats, notwithstanding correcting their running sheet, that the Labor Party does not support the amendments. I do understand the point you are making in respect of the misuse of personal information or the potential for misuse of personal information. I think, though, in the area of law enforcement it is unlikely to arise. But then you had the amendment which inserted ‘directly’, and I think that negates the concern. But I do understand the Democrats’ strong issues in this area, and I respect that although in this instance Labor will not be supporting these amendments.

Question negatived.
