These amendments speak for themselves and I presume the Senators will welcome them. Senators will recall we had much excitement about ceremonial jewellery and other items, and we have provided for an increased value in this matter. We had lengthy discussions in the other Chamber and here on up to what value of motor vehicles should be excluded. I have been persuaded by Deputies and Senators that we should revise the amount, which is now reasonable in the context of what we seek to achieve. I hope Senators welcome these amendments.
