Senator, you have raised a serious issue, and obviously we want to improve the effectiveness of all the policies that we have in place and certainly around this policy, but there are a range of other programs and positions that the government has undertaken to try and ensure that we improve the effectiveness of the program and the assessments.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: The question is that the amendments moved by Senator Siewert be agreed to.

Question negatived.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with amendments; report adopted.
