I support the Bill which is a technical measure. The issues raised by my colleagues concern the need for wider reform and to bring forward the reforms needed to ensure universal suffrage. When the Bill dealing with the university Senators is brought forward, we must ensure there is a proportionate balance when we examine it. However, I support this technical Bill as we must fill the vacancy.
