I just want to respond to the concerns of the opposition in relation to these things and seek a little bit of clarity on these amendments that are being proposed by the opposition. Certainly we really need to think about what is being proposed in these amendments and the impact that they will have on this bill. I will take this opportunity to tell Senator Bernardi, who has proposed these amendments of behalf of the opposition, that it is a little unclear the extent to which the review of operation in these amendments will actually apply and whether the intention is that the review of the amendments should apply to the fringe benefits issue or to all of the amendments proposed in this bill.
