I thank Senators Stephens, Johnston and Milne for their contributions. I accept that it is lost and I agree that safety has to be the primary consideration. I want to make it clear that where there is a question mark about a safety incident on an aircraft the CVR is subject to checking—no ifs, no buts. The pilots fully accept that. I think the best thing to do is to put this to a vote now. I will not be dividing. Then we can get on with amendment (3), which I see there is widespread support for.
