I will just put briefly on the record that this amendment also—as I think Senator Johnston's comments have just made very clear—was not properly analysed, because our parliament and its various legislative processes, in particular the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade committee, were prevented from looking at it. This amendment is being similarly rushed. We will not call a division until a little bit later in the session, but I do want to strongly record the Greens' objections to the way the government has handled this debate.

Question agreed to.
