I am happy to indicate Labor’s position. It is similar to the position I have been adopting all night with respect to these types of amendments from the Democrats in this area. We agree with the principle; we have said it repeatedly this evening in this debate. With respect to this particular one, we prefer our position, quite frankly, and we are quite willing to continue with that. Even though the government will not accept it, we think we might be able to wear them down eventually.
