Senator Daly and I are tabling these amendments on behalf of Senator Swanick who is unavoidably detained at a committee meeting but hopes to be here later. It is terribly confusing and, not having the Minister's script in front of me, I am finding it difficult, and I have been in this House for quite some time, both as a Member and as Acting Chairman. Can we suspend for a short time? I do not want to agree something that has not been accepted. I had a very brief conversation with the Minister of State and I accept his bona fides but I am not in a position to agree with his proposals until I have had a short period of time to discuss them with him. I ask for a suspension of ten minutes.
