I thank Senator Barrett for withdrawing his amendment. I will give consideration to what Senator Mullins said when we introduce the penalty points and fixed fine. Everyone forgets his or her wallet at some time and it is not the objective of the Government to impose penalty points and fines on people who forget their wallet. Perhaps it could be penalty points and a fine if a driver does not produce it on the spot or within a period of time. We will think about that when we come to it.

I have had some discussions with the CEO of the company to which Senator Mooney referred. He has agreed verbally that the licence will be accepted for flights-----
