Yes, I do understand the intent of the amendments, and that does not change the government’s position. With respect to the 1968 legislation in Tasmania, my understanding is that if the plebiscite is conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission then, yes, this legislation will override the 1968 legislation with respect to fluoridation.
Question negatived.
Bill agreed to.
Bill reported without amendment; report adopted.
