I reiterate what Senator Bacik said.Having participated in the hearings on the Bill as a member of the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, I have concluded that it strikes the correct balance. I concur with Senator Mullen and other speakers on the use of language in this debate. I have known the Senator for many years and have always found him to be utterly respectful of Senators from all sides, irrespective of whether they agree with him. He is always exceptionally careful in his use of language and I wish other colleagues were of a similar disposition. I agree with his views on many issues, while disagreeing with him on certain other issues. I find his engagement in debate very respectful.
