I would like to comment briefly on what Senator Eamonn Coghlan said, and I agree with him. I am not aware of a single Senator in this Chamber who does not work behind the scenes, championing causes and reform. I can point to legislation where my intervention caused an amendment to be made to a Bill. I know that every Member of this House is in the exactly the same position. Just because an amendment does not go down as an Opposition amendment and is accepted by a Minister does not make it any less valid. I am convinced that irrespective of what the people do on Friday, every Member of this House will continue to work and champion the causes they have championed up to now.
