I thank the Minister. I sense there might be considerable agreement across the House on this legislation. In her opening statement the Minister articulated many of the points. I hope other Members will not repeat everything she said and just make a few comments in addition.

I will call Senators Ardagh, Warfield, Butler and Norris in that order. They will all have eight minutes. While I do not want to curtail debate, that is a maximum rather than a target.
