Ludlam, Sen Scott

Senator LUDLAM (Western Australia) (00:17): To correct the record, my understanding, as you have indicated, was faulty. I am not someone who served on the committee although I am in intimate contact with someone who was. This evidence was in fact tended to the committee and it came through strongly in the work of the committee. But the minister is quite correct. It did not end up making its way into majority recommendation. Senator Chris Evans: So you verballed the committee! Senator LUDLAM: I was not verballing. I am correcting the record now. In our view, it should have made its way into a recommendation, but it clearly did not. I commend the amendments to the chamber nonetheless. Question negatived.
