As Senator Norris just outlined, it has really shocked us to see this amendment to the Bill. We had felt we had made progress over the course of the past months, and then we see this, which we feel is absolutely regressive. I would like to hear from the Minister exactly what she intends by tabling this amendment. The amendment reads "Disapplication of section 40(1) of Act of 1976 to cutting etc.". When does the expression "etc." come into such a Bill?
