by leave—The Greens oppose this amendment. I have the feeling that, if we had an amendment in here to compensate out of the public purse mining corporations if they were to rupture an aquifer and water was to get into their mines, that would get the same result that we are getting here today.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with amendments; report adopted.
