The government does not support the amendment. We have always considered credible information that is provided to us by civil society and we will continue to do that, including conducting regular consultation. We receive suggestions for sanctions listing from a range of sources. It's absolutely the expectation that that would continue, and I know what a constructive role that non-government organisations have played in the development of this legislation and in these discussions today. Any individual or organisation can make representations to government regarding the potential sanctions targets. We have dealt with some of the other aspects of the amendments on 1508 already.

Question negatived.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with amendments; report adopted.
