Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In June last year, I moved amendments to the Customs Amendment (Anti-dumping Measures) Bill 2013 that would have introduced a reverse onus of proof. After discussions with the then opposition I included a further amendment that would have introduced a reverse onus of proof after preliminary affirmative determination had been made, which I understood to be the coalition's position at the time. The coalition and the then government voted against these amendments. Is either of these amendments consistent with the coalition's current policies?
