Senator ALLISON (1:30 PM) —I will ask the question another way. Remembering that with this bill we have not had time to invite comment—it has not been through any of the committee processes—we are having to take the minister's word for the fact that there is broad support. Did the minister receive any complaints about this legislation? I see the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health and Ageing, who is sitting the advisors box, shaking her head, but we want to have on the record the minister's assurances that there are no significant issues that have been raised with the minister or her office over this legislation.
