I'd like to indicate the government's voting position. As I understand it, Senator Roberts's amendment seeks to essentially require certain decisions to be made by way of a legislative instrument rather than by notice of writing. The government consider that this would be unnecessarily burdensome and would deprive the TGA of the flexibility that is necessary to manage the health interests of Australians, and we won't be voting in favour of Senator Roberts's amendment.
