I move the Greens amendment on sheet 3284:

(1) Schedule 2, page 19 (line 1) to page 21 (line 11), to be opposed.

This amendment is about removing mandatory minimum sentencing, which is cruel, inappropriate, highly discriminatory and unjust. Mandatory minimum sentencing is going to make no-one safer in this country. Labor should think about what they are doing here.
