Here we have Senator Macdonald coming to the aid of Senator Lundy, which is apparently required. I do not want to put you in a spot, Senator Lundy. The fact is that it is extraordinary that the opposition opposes the Australian people having a say at the forthcoming election on this critical matter, because it affects all Australians and all future Australians. Nothing could be more important than for us to give Australians a say on this matter where, for a decade now, this country has been stymied in joining the international community by the Prime Minister and the government. I am amazed that Labor does not support this amendment.
