This day, 17 December, is a great day. It is my wedding anniversary also. It is great to see all this legislation going through the House. It is shocking, however, that this matter has featured since 2008. It is a great credit to the Minister of State that she acknowledged the three Senators who sponsored the original Bill. It proves the system works, although one may no longer be a Member when the legislation eventually gets over the line. It is great to see legislation that not only brings us into the 21st century but also brings us forward. Well done.
