I will now deal with the amendment circulated by Senator Tyrrell. The question is that the amendment on sheet 3604 be agreed to.

(1) Schedule 1, item 13, page 14 (after line 18), after subsection 114A.4(1), insert:

(1A) To avoid doubt, before the Governor-General makes a prohibited hate group regulation specifying an organisation, the AFP Minister must recommend that the Governor-General do so.

Note: The AFP Minister must receive advice from the Director-General before making the recommendation (see subsection 114A.5(2)).

Parliamentary approval

(1B) A prohibited hate group regulation does not come into effect until it has been approved by resolution of each House of the Parliament.

Question negatived.
