The changes are necessary, not alone for Opposition Members, but also for Government backbenchers who have an unenviable task and who do their job without the benefit of research facilities. I share a secretary with another Senator who divides time between us. That is untenable at a time when we are initiating legislation through the House. Notwithstanding that, I applaud the fact that the Government now sees fits to initiate legislation through the Upper House. Having been in both Houses, I find that debates in this House are generally far more constructive than in the other House, in that they do not seem to be as confrontational.
