Labor will be opposing these amendments. As Senator Patrick is well aware, Woomera is unable to be deemed a site, as it hasn't voluntarily nominated itself to be a site. Labor is not going to be supporting legislation or amendments from any senator who forces this facility on a community that doesn't want it. I'd encourage Senator Patrick to think about that.
