They can cry out all they like, because these four opposite were some of the people who created that mess. We are getting on with the job of fixing it. An increased focus on risk management and better dialogue within the parliament will lead to better decision making. The amendments contained within these bills go to supporting a better way for the Commonwealth to do its business. We all want that. That is something I had understood Labor would support. It was, after all, the government that introduced the PGPA Act in the first place. It was the party that introduced it, in the last days of the last parliament. I look forward to hearing and reading the Labor amendments. With that, I commend the bills.
Question agreed to.
