I thank Senator Brandis for that indication. I will make some very brief points about these amendments. The government amendments will implement three of the six substantive recommendations of the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee and also address issues identified by the Senate committee, the Attorney-General’s Department and portfolio agencies. I can provide much more detail to the Senate, but I think Senator Brandis is well aware of the content of the amendments.

Question agreed to.
