That is fine. It says that it will keep women from careers and employment. The Minister needs to address that, because that is another important issue that is impacting the way this referendum will go. I am afraid the wording we have at the moment is flawed. My colleagues on both sides this morning have shown the flaws. The Civil Engagement Group and Senator McDowell have shown the flaws, and the flaws lie in a failure to define the durable relationship.

I will leave it at that. There has been plenty of talk and I am sure other people want to get their spoke in.
