Mr Deputy Speaker, on indulgence: I inform the House as to the processes this evening. It would appear that we have at least one further piece of legislation due to come back. That is the Electoral and Referendum Amendment (Modernisation of Other Measures) Bill 2010. It is my understanding that that will be returned to the House within the next half hour. Therefore, I propose to continue sitting the House at this stage so that it returns for the convenience of members and particularly the staff of the parliament. It is therefore appropriate that we return to the debate on Autonomous Sanctions Bill 2010. I know that the member for Fadden is tearing at the bit literally to give his speech on this legislation.
