Whilst I can indicate that the issue and the potential costs associated with it would have been covered in the regulation impact statement, I cannot identify for you at the moment whether there was a specific item to which we can refer. I can indicate though that, if you look at this issue jurisdiction by jurisdiction, you will see that those costs have been borne by industry for quite some time—for longer than I can even recall—in some jurisdictions, as opposed to others. Question put:

That the amendments (Senator Abetz's) be agreed to.

The committee divided. [21:01]

(The Chairman—Senator Parry)

Question negatived.

Bills agreed to.

Bills reported without amendments; report adopted.
