Obviously I concur with the remarks of Senator Abetz. One would have to ask of Senator Fielding: where does it stop? Royal commission, productivity commission, construction of a second Harbour Bridge—who would know where it stops? But we can see how they are all interrelated issues. They only take about 10 years to bring about, but it is all right; we can wait. With all due respect, Senator Xenophon has been an able and ardent advocate through the course of this debate. I respect immensely the work that Senator Xenophon has done. The issues he brings about really show that he has been a participant. He has been in here every moment of the debate, and I respect his acumen and diligence on the issue.
