Okay, so I will put them in two groups. The first question is that the amendments on sheet 1235 circulated by the Australian Greens be agreed to.

Greens circulated amendments—

(1) Clause 239A, page 179 (line 26) to page 180 (line 5), omit the clause, substitute:

239A Review of the operation of this Act

(1) The Minister must cause an independent review to be conducted of the operation of this Act.

(2) The review must start as soon as practicable after the end of 2 years after this Act commences.

(3) The persons who conduct the review must give the Minister a written report of the review within 6 months of the commencement of the review.

(4) The Minister must cause copies of the report to be tabled in each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the day on which the Minister receives the report.
