I draw to the attention of the Senator that we are dealing with the enactment of this Bill. I said earlier this evening, and on Second Stage, that those found guilty of abusing the services of trafficked people should be treated as having committed a crime.

I am disappointed in the way the Senator is pursuing his amendment. His contribution to the debate this evening has been laudable but now he has diluted that. The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1993 is a different matter. We must first sort out this Bill and we can then revisit the 1993 Act. Let us first ensure this Bill is done and dusted and enacted.
