I say this very bluntly. I welcome what the Senator has read into the record. It is likely due to the fact that this Bill was in the process and referred before the MOU was adopted. I am only offering a possibility. The clerk advises me that the MOU only applies to Bills referred after 20 January, so we will not be able to use that argument as I was suggesting. As Senators Kelleher and Black know, we have had this for some time before. That is the fig leaf that will be used to justify having proceeded without waiting for our deliberations here today. It underscores all that has been said. Has Senator Black anything to add?
