Again, these are the legal questions in relation to the chapeau, section 129(i) and section 129(ii), and we will shortly get to section 129(iii).

The reason we are doing this, as I stated earlier, is that, firstly, we haven't been given details but, secondly, we haven't had a constitutional convention. If we had a constitutional convention, we could turn to the debates and look at the questions and the answers. Australians don't have any opportunity to do that. This is our one opportunity, in a Committee of the Whole stage, where we are later to be voting on this bill, to try and ascertain some of the information that the Australian people want. So I will continue asking these questions and you can continue mocking me and demeaning me—that is fine; I accept all of that.
