I thank Senator Madigan for his question. I do well remember, as we have already heard from some of the interjections during the question, the passionate debate that this chamber had about the orange-bellied parrot. We had that newborn greenie, Senator Ian Campbell, on behalf of those opposite, deciding that this had to be saved at any cost. And all of those opposite joined with him in his passion to save the orange-bellied parrot.
