Senator Boyle spoke about the community support programme. I will allow time for a debate on the matter. I apologise to Senator Boyle that the House did not have time yesterday to address this matter.

On Senator Coghlan's query yesterday in respect of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008, it is intended the House will deal with this Bill following the Easter recess. A section removed from the Bill when first drafted now forms part of the legal services ombudsman Bill which is listed on the Government's legislative programme. Senator Coghlan inquired yesterday as to the up-to-date position in this regard. The position is as outlined. I also congratulate Senator Coghlan on his appointment as deputy leader of his group.
