The opposition, having looked at this tranche of amendments, believe that they are supportable. Therefore, we indicate to the government that they have our support.

Question agreed to.

Minister, could I make a suggestion that we skip over the next tranche at the bottom of page 1. Looking through it, if I am correct, I am not sure that some of the amendments that are said to conflict with each other actually do. I would not mind having the opportunity later on tonight, and before tomorrow morning, to disaggregate them. I invite the minister to move the greenfield amendments and also the first lot of outworkers amendments. I can indicate to the minister that, as I said earlier, we are supportive of the amendments in relation to greenfield agreements.
