I will comment on the point on which the Minister concluded. It is the issue in terms of the grouped amendments that includes amendment No. 21. It is very unusual to insert a specific figure in primary legislation, as the Minister has outlined, and that is why we are not supporting the particular proposal, along with the issue of the balanced approach report, the EU legislation and laws around that, and the rules of the World Health Organization. As Members will be well aware, discretion is given to authorities, as we are setting up in this, to regulate noise control and the levels of noise. As we all know, new information and facts become available. Like Senator Norris, I would be interested to hear from where Senator Reilly got his information.
