I understand what the Senator is saying but it is a matter for the Department, rather than the House, to publish the amendments and I presume the Minister, in goodwill, will ensure the amendments are published in sufficient time to allow Members to table amendments to the Government amendments if they so wish. Otherwise, this is not proper procedure because it would not permit this House to reflect on Government amendments so that we can put forward our own amendments. I presume the Department will take cognisance of that reality so that the business can be ordered accordingly.
