I also warmly welcome the Minister's amendment. It is a positive addition to the Bill. It is important that we on this side of the House acknowledge when the Government is prepared to deal with issues and objections and draft amendments we bring forward, and we should welcome it. Senator Norris mentioned the late night aspect of this Bill. I am sure the Minister is extremely busy and is working very hard. I can see his officials are also working extremely hard. Although these matters may not be particularly detailed, they still involve issues of principle and procedure. It is impressive that they could be turned around overnight in the manner in which they were as has been said. It is publicly known that the Attorney General is legendary for his late night if not around the clock working. I can see some smiles coming in my direction from people sitting behind the Minister who probably have direct experience of it. I am sure the Minister knows it also. It is impressive.
