Sarah Hanson-Young We have not been given a grey sheet for these amendments, so I will just have to step through piece by piece. I wish to move the first set of amendments that relate to children in detention. The amendments to schedule (1)— Concetta Fierravanti-Wells Senator Hanson-Young, are you going to deal with amendments (1), (2) and (3)? On sheet 7791, you have amendments (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5). Are you going to deal with them in that order? I understand that Senator Carr's amendment is to Greens' amendment (4). Kim Carr That is correct. Given the nature of these bills, I will follow the pattern I have in recent times—that is, I will speak to all of these amendments so that we do not have to get up and down. The position will not change. It is unlikely to persuade anyone of anything on this matter. So I think we will just state our position. Sarah Hanson-Young I would like to start with my amendments in relation to releasing children from detention. My understanding from sheet 7791 is that the first two amendments deal with 3A section 4AA and 3B subsection 5(1). Can I get clarification that we are all on the same page? Linda Reynolds Senator Hanson-Young, are you seeking leave? Sarah Hanson-Young I am seeking leave to speak to the amendments as circulated. The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Hanson-Young, are you seeking leave to move amendments (1), (2) and (5) together? Yes, please. Leave granted. I move Greens' amendments (1), (2) and (5) on sheet 7791: (1) Schedule 3, page 11 (before line 4), before item 3, insert: 3A Section 4AA Repeal the section, substitute: The Parliament affirms as a principle that no minor is to be deprived of his or her liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily.
