The government will not be supporting the amendment moved by the Australian Greens. Despite the statements made by Senator Hanson-Young and reiterated by Senator Carr, I can confirm to the Senate that the bill does not make any change to the judicial review rights. The bill contains the necessary procedural safeguards to ensure a fair process. Natural justice requirements will be observed as the IWA will be supported with a code of procedure in relation to the reviews that it conducts. So I confirm that there is no change to the judicial review rights.

The CHAIRMAN: The question is that schedule 4 stand as printed.
