Can I make an observation at this point, senators. This is the introduction of a bill, not a formal motion. From my memory, there has not usually been a series of statements when it comes to the introduction of a bill—because they are opportunities for debate—to be debated later on when it goes on the Notice Paper. So I would encourage all senators to reflect on that, lest we start having multiple debates on the same bill.

Question agreed to.
