I want to ask the minister whether he understands that, firstly, these amendments are not about local government but about having a plebiscite at the forthcoming federal election on support or otherwise for the Kyoto protocol; and, secondly, that this legislation will indeed override the 1968 legislation in Tasmania prohibiting local government from having a plebiscite on fluoridation.
