I want to indicate Labor’s support for the position put by the Democrats. I will not go into great detail; Senator Bartlett has summed up the debate rather well as to why he is arguing for a definition of good character. The definition of good character that is included in Senator Bartlett’s amendment does seem to accord with that which you would think would be included in a statute such as this. Therefore, on that basis, we do think it is a good idea and deserves support.
