While I appreciate the spirit in which Senators made the proposals, the costing of joint investigations is the responsibility not just of the State but of all the states involved in the establishment of a joint investigation team, and the only way in which to address the issue is by way of an agreement drawn up by the member states to establish the team. It would be almost impossible and inappropriate to endeavour to fit a costing provision into the legislation which would meet the criteria of all states. I am sure Senators will agree that the benefit to be gained from the establishment of these teams in the fight against terrorism will largely outweigh any cost involved. For this reason, I do not propose to accept the amendment.
