In summing up, I thank the shadow minister for his contribution and for his support for this legislation. I also thank the member for Kingston and the member for Bowman for their contributions. It is a good thing that we have had the government, the opposition, the Independ­ents and the minor parties all agreeing it is very important to uphold the principle that, if someone has knowingly done the wrong thing and been pinged for it, they are not let off down the track on a legal technicality. I thank the House for its cooperation.
