On a point of information, the GRECO report was published in draft format. There was an opportunity for Government to engage and it did. Clarifications were sought and other information was given following which amendments were proposed to the Bill by the Minister. I refer Senators to the draft Bill and the final draft of the GRECO report. I ask Members to read the draft and amended reports. We all have a copy of it. If Opposition Members want to prolong the debate, that is their prerogative. The Order of Business was agreed in good faith at the leaders' meeting and following votes in the House last week.
