I indicate that with right of entry Senator Fielding, for example, has an amendment that it should not apply to small business. How can we deal with right of entry as to small business if we do not know what the legislation is going to say about what a small business is? That was the same difficulty we had with some Greens amendments. We voted them down anyway in respect of the size. But I really do think that this is a discrete area as to the size of  business, and we know what the Greens position is in relation to that—it is very much 15. So if I may, Mr Temporary Chairman, I will proceed and move the amendments.
