Senator Bernardi, as I outlined, we don't believe that your amendments are necessary. There are quite tight prescriptions within the bill in terms of comebacks to the chamber or to the parliament should there be any attempt to extend the scope or reach of the legislation in any particular way, and we don't see the need to further delay passage of the legislation through adopting unnecessary amendments.
