Minister, we will be suggesting alternative sections 22A, 22B and 22C. I will be putting that regime of 22A, 22B and 22C, and those amendments are currently being prepared and, hopefully, will be shortly distributed in the chamber. Minister, might I suggest, so that we can move this along: what if we deal with the amendments that look at the humanitarian and the refugee exception? I think they are the Greens amendments. I would be happy to look at those Greens amendments and deal with those upfront. If that would be acceptable, Minister, I think we should do that subject to what Senator Hanson-Young may wish to proceed with.
