Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I congratulate the Minister and his officials on the Bill. It is contentious in certain areas, but the Minister has paid attention to our queries and concerns and has found an acceptable balance.

Like Senator Bannon, I regret that we did not continue for five minutes. Perhaps I should have got to my feet and requested an extension. I do not like the thought of a guillotine and this is one of the first instances of a guillotine being applied in the House that I have seen.
