I can indicate that Labor will be supporting Senator Lazarus's amendment. There has been a lot of conversation in the Senate inquiry and also in the chamber that these people will be very reputable. That is a given and we all accept that, but it is our view that the amendment moved by Senator Lazarus will give the bipartisan support that I think the board does require so that the population has faith in the board into the future, so Labor will be supporting the amendment.
