Yes, they have. Again I will refer you to Hansard. We've now had nearly eight hours of debate and questions on this issue, these customs amendments.

Senator Hanson-Young interjecting—

Senator Hanson-Young, I think that, if you go back through Hansard, you will find that the words 'chilling effect', along with all the other Greens buzzword bingo words, came out yesterday. Again I will just refer you to Hansard yesterday. There is no chilling effect, because Australian sovereignty still remains, and the Australian government's ability to legislate and to deal with these issues remains completely unaffected.
