Will he clarify when precisely the heads of the Bill will be published and the Bill be introduced? I commend Friends of the Earth and the Stop Climate Chaos campaign which ran a full day's lobbying yesterday in Buswells Hotel on the need for climate change legislation. My Climate Protection Bill has been languishing on the Order Paper since October 2007. If the Government is finding it difficult to come up with its own Bill, it could simply adopt my legislation.

I will not be lectured by Senator Mullen on the need for women Members to take an interest in issues around prostitution and trafficking. I have often called upon the Leader for debates on these issues.
