I thank Senator Joyce for referring to the Democrat amendment that he thought was a constructive attempt to deal with these matters. I would remind Senator Joyce that the Labor Party moved an identical amendment, but he had walked out of the chamber and did not vote for it. This was after he had voted for the Democrat amendment. So I am not surprised that he has forgotten that the Labor Party had a proposition which was in identical terms to the one that he supported that was supposed to deal with some of the competition problems.
