My question is to Senator Conroy, the Minister representing the Prime Minister. I remind the minister that his own Labor colleagues are quoted today as saying that the government's now dumped antidiscrimination reforms were 'a waste of time' and 'a disaster'. Is the minister aware that the Attorney-General, Mr Dreyfus, on the other hand has described this bill as 'just a tidying up of existing antidiscrimination laws'? If the Gillard government cannot even get a simple tidying up of legislation right, isn't this just another example of the gross ineptitude and incompetence that is the hallmark of this Labor government?
