I wish to join with colleagues in extending sympathy to our colleague, Senator Eamonn Coghlan, on the death of his mother, Kathleen. I wish Senator Jimmy Harte all the very best and hopefully he is making good progress. We look forward to further news in early course, please God. We certainly welcome back Ms Jody Blake, which is very good news.

I look forward to the Leader's response to Senator Healy Eames's requested amendment. The major Companies Bill is on the way and will take a long while, but we cannot expect to be spoon-fed collectively. The Library and Research Service is excellent if anyone wants assistance or guidance. One would not expect me to agree with anything Senator Healy Eames proposes. I certainly do not, but I look forward to the Leader's response.
