It is not about those issues and you well know it. To conclude, having seen the amendment I can say to the chamber we have been advised by the Attorney-General—so we have received advice—that the opposition amendment is unnecessary. It is not necessary. The amendment is unnecessary to maintain the status quo in section 122 of the Constitution.
