nator SHOEBRIDGE () (): For the reasons actually articulated by the minister, the Greens won't be supporting the amendment either. If this amendment from the opposition got up, it would tie the NACC down in endless disputation and legal challenges under the ADJR act. That would largely be done by the powerful, the well-resourced corporations and individuals who we want the NACC to hold to account. It would produce endless legal challenges, delay to the work of the NACC and would largely cruel the ability of the NACC to do its job.

Question agreed to.
