That will be reflected in the budget for 2013. Senator Hayden spoke about budgetary debates, of which we have had a number of these on areas such as social welfare. There will be a debate on the economy this afternoon. The Senator and others complimented the Government on receiving a seat on the executive of the Human Rights Council in the United Nations, which should be welcomed by all.

I take Senator van Turnhout's point on the referendum and compliment her on the part she played during that campaign. I note her points on the periodic review.
