I say to Senator Norris that this particular Bill is probably the most widely consulted Bill of all time. People in the Visitors Gallery will be conscious of that fact. It is a long time in drafting. It is reasonable to say that it is an entirely different Bill from the one with which we started. It does not look anything like it did at the outset and even at this stage there are still amendments to be made. This legislation will affect each and every one of us in whatever position or circumstances we find ourselves at different stages of our lives and I hope it will be to our benefit.
