I am pleased to speak in the House of Representatives of this parliament today on the Ministers of State Amendment Bill 2005. At the very outset, I completely reject and repudiate in the strongest language the words of the speaker preceding me, the shadow minister, the member for Wills, and his seconder, the member for Watson. There is no way in the world that this side of the parliament will support any second reading amendment that has been put forward by the shadow minister. This bill is important.
