Senator Farrell, as I said, you had years. The process started in 2010 and by the time you were tossed out of office in 2013 all you had managed to present to this parliament was flawed legislation. We are picking up those pieces. We are addressing some of the particular issues of concern from that legislation, and what we bring into this place will be something that works for both Defence and the resources and energy sector. We will not be driven by the political stunts of those opposite. We will not be driven by the timing of the South Australian election campaign.
