The Greens will be supporting Labor's amendment because this bill must include protections for whistleblowers and a process for making and handling complaints. There is so little in this bill and so much missing from the regulations and, with such a flawed, underdeveloped proposal on the table, the government must, at the very least, put in place reporting and complaint-making and complaint-handling processes to try and mitigate the risks that will, no doubt, come with the implementation of this scheme.

The CHAIR: The question is that amendment (1) on sheet 1095, as moved by Senator Pratt, be agreed to.
