In this context, data-matching refers to the large-scale comparison of records or files collected on file for different purposes. While it is not considered that the bill, as tabled, permitted data-matching, in light of the concerns raised by the scrutiny committee about the provision facilitating other uses of information, this amendment will put the issue beyond question. I would like to express the government’s appreciation to the committee for its advice in this matter.
MRS DUNNE (Ginninderra) (5.54): As the chair of the scrutiny of bills committee, I thank Mr Hargreaves for his graciousness and his thoroughness in dealing with this matter. It was a matter of comment in the scrutiny of bills committee meeting the other day, when we received Mr Hargreaves’s response, how well the department had dealt with this. I compliment him on it. We will be supporting these amendments.
MS BRESNAN (Brindabella) (5.55): The Greens will be supporting these amendments which, as has already been stated, simply pick up on the recommendation from the scrutiny of bills committee.
Amendments agreed to.
Schedule 1, amendment No 1.19, as amended, agreed to.
Remainder of bill, by leave, taken as a whole and agreed to.

That the report be noted.
I am pleased to be able to speak to the report of the Select Committee on Campaign Advertising Inquiry into the Government Agencies (Campaign Advertising) Bill 2008.
