Before you pull me up on this issue, Madam Temporary Chair, I am not sure if Senator Joyce referred to what is being produced in his hometown of St George. I understand the numbers are very much against me. This is an important issue, which I think has been acknowledged fairly by both sides. I will be moving in the next sitting week for specific terms of reference in relation to the issue of counterfeiting and, in good faith and with goodwill, I will negotiate with the government, the opposition and my crossbench colleagues to try to get that inquiry up because it is an important issue that needs to be dealt with.

Question negatived.

Bill agreed to.

Bill reported without amendment; report adopted.
