I suppose I had better at least make some comment on this. Senator Abetz, you have challenged the crossbenchers. I have listened to the arguments one way and the other. I think the government has it right on this one and I will go with what it has proposed. The arguments have been put forward. I understand the question that the opposition have raised about who pays for it, but it is the principle of reinstatement and I think that has to be worked out through that process. I will support the government on these amendments.
