It is 2.30 am, and it is the end of a long process—not just of a long day but of the whole Senate process of the inquiry. At the end of the day, the Senate has done its job and various amendments have been made. It will now go to the lower house and we will see what transpires later on today. Each party represented in the Senate has done their job. We have worked well together tonight to make sure that the Fair Work Bill will pass the Senate. Quite clearly, with the Fair Work Bill about to pass this chamber, that will be the official end of Work Choices.
