What can I say after that lot! I want to come back to what we were actually debating, and that was Senator Rhiannon's amendment on sheet 8003. I think that is where we were.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Correct.

We have gone around the world in 80 days, looking at all sorts of nonsense and theories and rubbish from Senator Roberts.

I just want to indicate to Senator Rhiannon that, while we understand the sentiments behind your amendment on sheet 8003, we would draw your attention to the amendment on sheet 8015, which Labor will move later in the evening, which I think deals with the issues you are raising, but in a more comprehensive manner. I just want to draw your attention to that. So we will oppose this amendment, but only because we hope that you could support our amendment on 8015, because I think it would achieve what you are trying to achieve but in an even more comprehensive manner than your amendment on sheet 8003. That is where we were.

I also understand that there are another two amendments being circulated. One of them, I think, is Senator Xenophon's amendment on the AAT—I am not sure we have a number for that yet—
