I am sure Liberal senators will be very pleased that Senator Joyce is reprising Senator Williams's argument from some hours ago. I have answered that question; I refer to that answer.
I also indicate to senators I understand that Senator Fierravanti-Wells may have had further questions on the health issue or other issues. I indicate to Senator Xenophon—I know he is on the phone—that the government is very happy to proceed to voting on his amendment which is before the chamber, if we wish to proceed. I can give that commitment on behalf of the government. I am happy to respond directly to Senator Fierravanti-Wells on a question, but we are quite happy to proceed with voting on this particular amendment. There are a number of subsequent amendments Senator Xenophon has also circulated and flagged.
