Michael McCarthy: I will not bother to give an overview of the debate which has gone on for almost eight hours. I thank the Minister for the manner in which he handled this legislation and acknowledge the work of his officials. It is a very technical and detailed Bill.

Senators need all the secretarial services provided to them to exercise their duties and...

Michael McCarthy: I move amendment No. 1: In page 15, line 33, after "on" to insert "the day of its passing save insofar as it involves a charge on public funds, in which case it shall to that extent come into operation on". The purpose of this amendment is to encourage the immediate enactment of the Bill. The reference to a charge on public funds is made to prevent the amendment being ruled out of order. I...
