For courtesy’s sake I wish to indicate the government’s position that we do not support the amendment. I share some of the concerns raised by senators previously, and I would also make the point that there are enforcement provisions under part 8 of the act which enable, for example, the authority to seek an injunction, if this becomes necessary, against a body or a person, including a state.

Question negatived.
