Joanna Tuffy (Labour)

I agree with other Senators that it is a waste of time to debate the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill today, particularly when it is to be considered further by the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service. I also agree that we should be debating the war on Iraq today. I am glad we are debating it tomorrow, but it is really an afterthought. As Senator Ross said, if we want to be thought of as relevant, we should be scheduling our business in a different way.
