Sadly, Private Members' Bills such as the Access to Cancer Treatment Bill introduced by Senator Crown and me, the Family Home Bill and other Bills were interpreted as political ammunition even though they were not. I take solace in the fact that some of good suggestions made by Independent Senators have been embraced. I hope that today's Bill will move forward apace, unlike the Construction Contracts Bill, and I congratulate Senator Quinn again.
