Following the lead of Senator Ludwig, the Greens—this probably comes as no surprise—are also supporting the Democrat amendment. We also supported the previous ones. We have made our views about the negative aspects of this legislation extremely clear. We do not think it will improve the native title process. In fact, I very strongly suspect it will make outcomes worse for native title holders. I believe that the amendments the Democrats are proposing here, along with the ones from the opposition and those proposed by the Greens on Friday, would improve the bill and lead to better outcomes for native title holders.

Question negatived.
