I should indicate that Labor will be opposing these amendments because we accept that, as Senator Brandis outlined, in some cases it will not be appropriate to do so. As he highlighted, it is certainly permissive, but there are some circumstances, including where the comment relates to sensitive law enforcement or national security matters, where it may not be appropriate. We accept that what has been structured here is in the appropriate form.
