The opposition cannot support these amendments simply because they have budgetary implications that we would not be prepared to undertake.

Question negatived.

I move opposition amendment (4) on sheet 5968:

(4)      Schedule 2, item 4, page 20 (line 17), omit “$1,127”, substitute “$500”.

I did traverse this issue before and I just repeat that for the coalition this is very important, because this is the savings measure by which we pay for all our proposals. Let me leave it at that.
