I'll move to another point that concerns me and, I would say, millions of Australians, which is the leasing of the Port of Darwin. Senator Wong has an amendment to the bill that would require a report from the government to be laid on the table. I'm a bit mystified as to why you would put up an amendment to the bill regarding a report to be laid on the table with regard to the bill, when this could have been done through a notice of motion. I am terribly concerned about the way the Port of Darwin was leased. My question for the government is: can the leasing of the Port of Darwin be reversed, under this bill or any other legislation by the government, so that the port ends up back in the hands of the Australian people, not foreign owned?
