MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (5.30): The Greens will be supporting the ALP’s amendment. Mr Coe has a concern about whether or not the committee receives information which could be relevant to privacy and safety impacts about, for instance, a new women’s refuge. I understand his view that there is not enough transparency and this is one of the fine-line ones.
In this instance we are erring on the side of the safety of the community. It is a balance and it is a difficult balance. I note that the relevant committee, if it has a reason to be concerned about any particular transactions, obviously can ask the government for more information, which I would trust that the government would hand over appropriate to the safety and discretion of the committee. But there does not seem a need for this to be done on a routine basis. In this instance we will be voting with the ALP rather than the Liberal Party.
