I move:

That the report from the committee be adopted.

In speaking to this motion I want briefly to indicate that the government moved a series of amendments which were the result of negotiations with the Greens and Senator Xenophon. We subsequently have a position where those amendments have not been carried by this chamber. As a show of good faith, the government will endeavour to bring a bill back into the House of Representatives this week to put into effect those amendments that the Greens and Senator Xenophon have negotiated with the government. If the chamber seeks to vote against the motion that I am now moving, there will be no scholarships for students next year.
