I take Senator McLucas's point. I want to make it very clear that there is nothing tricky or sneaky about this. It is simply to make it clear that it applies to goods, not just foods, by virtue of the application of the Australian Consumer Law. It is by way of clarification; it is not introducing a new concept. I take Senator McLucas's point, but it does not introduce a new concept to the bill; it simply clarifies an aspect of it so that, to be consistent with the amendments the Australian consumer law, it applies to goods.
