-----it is not an issue I will raise much in the course of the campaign. I believe it is secondary to the fundamental issue, which is whether we believe there should be a bicameral or unicameral system, but I agree with the Senator on that. The issue is not about cost. The issue is the functioning of our democracy and making sure that the decision-making process is of a quality and a standard we can stand over.
