As Senator Norris has said, unless we, as legislators, actively go out and drive the referendum, it is possible, if not likely that it will be defeated because huge forces will be gathered to try to ensure that it does not pass.

We cannot bank everything on the possibility that there will be a review at some stage in the future which will allow us to revisit this particular section of the Bill. While I appreciate the Minister of State's difficulty, I would ask him to go back to the Attorney General and discuss it further with her.
