I have spent a lot of time with Senator Xenophon. I have spent a lot of time with colleagues in the lower house. I have spoken to the industry sector. I have spoken to NGOs and think tanks about this legislation. I do not plan to go through names for you, Senator McLucas. I would not expect you to do so. I am not proposing the legislation; I am outlining the coalition's position. I do not think I have been shy about the reasons for that, and I do not plan to take up much more time of this Senate repeating what I have said earlier.
