I would like to move some amendments. The first amendment standing in my name is an amendment to schedule 1, item 7, which provides for consultation in relation to the development of regulations. I seek an amendment that requires, during the development of regulations for this framework, adequate and thorough consultation with all consumer health and therapeutic goods industry stakeholders, including representatives from the complementary medicines sector. As this proposed legislation will have an effect on the complementary medicines industry, it will only be appropriate that they have some involvement as to how the process will take place.
