I recall a succession of Senators raising a succession of issues. In my early days as a Senator, considerable shock was felt by many when Senator Norris was first elected. It was a shock to elected Members of both Houses as Senator Norris was, not only a public advocate of homosexual law reform, but his personal sexual orientation was also a matter of public record. I do not doubt that the shock changed the thinking of both Houses. The presence of somebody of Senator Norris's considerable qualities was a huge step on the road to the loss many people's prejudices. The peculiarities of a second Chamber facilitated his election, just as it helped mine.
