The Attorney-General will resume his place. I think that on some occasions there are questions where there is a great deal of bipartisan support and I cannot believe that the House would leave those who are watching with the impression that we are trivialising those important issues. I have an expectation that the House will sit in silence on those occasions when there are those types of matters before us.
