Labor will not be supporting this amendment. I note that we did support a very similar amendment in the name of Senator Xenophon moments earlier. The only real material difference appears to be a threshold of either $1 billion or a $500 million threshold. Labor feels that the $1 billion threshold is a more reasonable one than the $500 million one, but we note just how similar these two amendments are.

The CHAIRMAN: The question is that amendment (2) on sheet 7787 be agreed to.

Question negatived.
