Andrew McLachlan (SA, Liberal Party) | Hansard source

I thought I'd take this opportunity to clarify for the honourable senators my position in relation to the bill. I voted against it at the second reading. I intend, during committee, to vote for Senator Pocock's amendments. They find favour with me. My intention, at this stage, is to vote no at the third reading.

I'd like to congratulate my friend Senator Scarr on his contribution at the second reading. I've been very much swayed by Senator Scarr's advocacy and also by the members for Fisher and Cowper in the other place. The member for Cowper is also, I think, the only member remaining from the Murphy report.
