The government is opposing the amendment moved by Senator Hanson-Young relating to children born to IMAs. I believe I answered a question from Senator Madigan today in relation to this. The current state of the law is that babies born to mothers who are UMAs are expressly covered by the definition of UMA in section 5AA of the act.

The CHAIRMAN: The question is that schedule 6 stand as printed.

Question agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN: Senator Hanson-Young, you are not proceeding with any more of your amendments?
