I indicate on behalf of the Labor opposition that Labor will not be supporting Democrats amendment (5), which is to oppose part 5 of the bill relating to business management areas. We see this as part of what is essential to the emergency intervention. Labor will be supporting the government on the question that part 5 stand as printed. So we will not be supporting the Democrat amendment. I just thought I would indicate that, as that is the matter before the chair.
