I thank all the Senators for their cross-party support. My approach is to do the best thing no matter who puts it forward. I note to Senator Davitt that the supply and confidence agreement is working. I had intended to put this through in the statutory audits Bill but I am delighted that we could get it through this way. I thank the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, the jobs committee and my own officials for the work they do on all the Bills we are bringing through.

Senator McDowell asked about the implementation of the legislation. My intention is to bring it in as soon as possible and on the one day. The Bill uses the standard language which the Senator will understand with his knowledge of legalese. That is how it is stated but we intend to do it on the one day. On his last question, we also intend to put the legislation together.
