Almost 70% of the electorate chose not to vote in the last referendum. Surveys carried out subsequently proved that the vast majority of them did not understand the treaty or found it confusing. It is a confusing and difficult treaty – as are all European Union treaties. I yield to the greater expertise in this area of my colleagues, Senator O'Rourke, and the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Kitt, who have sat on the Council of Ministers and negotiated elements of various treaties, but I am sure they will agree that treaties are, of their nature, complex documents. In this country we have somehow got hung up on various buzz words such as "qualified majority voting", "enhanced co-operation", "enlargement processes" and so forth. I do not suggest that they are unimportant but it is equally important to convey to the electorate the consequences of this country rejecting the treaty a second time.
