I understand that the heads of Bill to legislate for the 1979 referendum result may be with the Cabinet next week. When the heads of the Bill are published we can have a debate on that issue in the House. There is movement in that regard. As I said last night, I would welcome proposals from all sides of the House and individuals on how we can improve the way we operate our business in this House.

Senator Bacik also raised the issue of the dementia strategy and called for a debate on that very important issue. On Senator Barrett's comments, I advise that in speaking about the heads of the Bill to legislate for the referendum result, I do not believe there is any intention to abolish the university seats but it will be more difficult with a larger electorate for people to organise canvassing and so on. We can debate that when the heads of the Bill are put to Cabinet.

Senator Paul Coghlan raised the justice committee's deliberations on community courts yesterday. I understand the debate at the committee was very good and that the Minister sat through all the discussion which continued for a number of hours. When the report of the justice committee is published that is another report that we could debate in the House.
