I enjoy reading between the lines of Senator Feeney's comments greatly! It is not in his set of talking points. The fact is that everybody is well aware of: this bill was being rushed through in flawed form, ambiguous form and extremely dangerous form, in my view—judging by the comments of some of the coalition senators and, indeed, Senator Feeney, by your own colleagues who are very schooled in this particular portfolio—to meet an artificial timetable of a press conference.
Presumably, Senator Feeney, you will be completely surprised when this comes up in the joint press conference that occurs in Perth next month.
