Ivana Bacik (Independent)

I support Senator Regan's amendment and concur with Senator Quinn's comments. In essence, Senator Regan seeks to do what the Minister has promised to do in any case. It is another unfortunate consequence of the decision to rush through the legislation that the Government's amendment does not reflect the reality of what the Minister has agreed, whereas Senator Regan's amendment, which I presume will not be accepted, is more reflective of that reality.
