Those of us who have been in this chamber for a while remember that in opposition we can all be very brave and courageous in making assertions and predictions on what we might do 12 months down the track. Let me just say that I am very confident that on reflection, within 12 months, Labor and the Greens may have another thought about whether or not to support this particular measure. I am very confident that the proposal that we have announced today will be validated within 12 months by the parliament.
