I would speak in favour of the proposed amendment. To me it's a point of clarification. All the Green Party amendment would do is provide for greater certainty on certain things. I believe that if it's the case we want our existing laws, like the Privacy Act, to take precedence, and if there's any ambiguity in the clause about that, why don't we put it on record and clarify it? It's only an attempt to clarify what appears to be the intent already, so I think it's, in a sense, a friendly amendment and worthwhile.
