I thank Senator Burke for his amendment and I support the thinking behind it. Section 54 of the Bill gives an undertaking on the reporting of risks by railway staff and contractors. I draw the Senator's attention to sections 54(1)(a) and (b), and sections 54(2) and (3). If there is anything not covered by those sections I ask Senator Burke to bring it to my attention and I will be happy to amend any aspect of it. These sections cover what Senator Burke's amendment is trying to achieve so it is not necessary to proceed with it.
