Does it? I have no control over that element of it but I appreciate what the Senator is saying. That will be an important engagement for us as well. The public is looking on for us to lead on this, and to not go down a path that brings more division and hatred into the country. We are at a crossroads now on that front, so we have a lot of work to do in that regard.

I will touch upon some of the other issues that were raised by Senators. Senator Clonan raised the issue of the Green Paper on disability reform. He has acknowledged that it is a discussion paper. I know there are a lot of challenges with it, and I will request a debate with the Minister of State, Deputy Butler on that topic. It is unlikely that we will have her in before the end of the term. We have a lot of legislation to get through, and we only have two to three weeks of sittings left. We will try to get that early in the new term.
