We know that the Greens do not want to pass this piece of legislation. So I am not surprised at the stunt. We know that they oppose the legislation. We know that they want to do anything they can to stop it coming on. But the simple fact—the very, very simple fact—is that there is no conspiracy; this is the next piece of legislation on the Notice Paper and, therefore, when we finished the last piece of legislation, we brought on this one. It is not that complicated.
