I agree. We need that shift to a rights-based based approach. I genuinely want to thank Mr. Geary for his work. I am grateful to my friend and colleague Deputy O'Sullivan for the time to come in. I know Deputy Jim O'Callaghan acknowledged Senator Mark Daly and myself but Deputy O'Sullivan has advocated on this issue far more than anyone else. I hope nobody has to go through Mr. Geary's experience. I hope he will excuse me as I am due in the Chamber.
