On behalf of the Labor opposition, we will be supporting the government’s clause and opposing the opposition from the Democrats to part 4. I understand some of Senator Bartlett’s concerns but I fundamentally reject his key argument. His key argument is that there is no connection between housing and child abuse. I think that that is just not right.
