Mr WILKIE (10:44 AM) —by leave—Without seeking to close the debate, I would add some further comments on this bill. I want to say that I think we have a tremendous situation here in that the members of the government, the opposition and the crossbenches are all working cooperatively to progress a bill which is genuinely in the public interest. It signals what can be achieved in this place when legislation in the public interest comes in here. I would hope that this signals further cooperation in the future and I look forward to the Senate progressing this bill fairly soon with little in the way of amendment.
