I will not take up too much time in this debate, because I know Senator Cormann wants to contribute. I make the point that the opposition are seeking to amend legislation that they say they will repeal. The opposition are seeking to make it easier, on their submission to the chamber, for people to purchase permits when Mr Abbott's position is that no-one should purchase permits. If anybody ever wanted a demonstration of how the blood oath has gone pretty watery, you have got it today.
