The Greens restate our opposition to the first two of the opposition substantive amendments but indicate that the Greens would be happy to support the third amendment relating to black spot coverage should they be moved separately. Essentially this is an improvement in the way we would be able to interpret information and get a government response to the way that the data on the digital tracker is being interpreted by the government. However, we are not really persuaded by the arguments that Senator Minchin is putting around incentivisation. So we will be maintaining our opposition to the first two of the opposition’s amendments but we would support the third if it is moved separately.
