I formally second Senator Ward's amendments. It is clear-cut. I was in the House with Senator McDowell when the dogs dinner came in and found myself in the very unenviable position of representing the Government but not agreeing with the Bill. It was extraordinary. Thankfully, the Bill did not see the light of day, which was because of the commitment of Senator McDowell, the father of the House and a couple of other Members, who were doggedly determined that the dogs dinner would never see the kitchen table.
