To conclude: I dedicate this to those individuals whom I have known, having just named a few of them, to have put so much into this over many years. I particularly dedicate it to Australia’s children. They will be the beneficiaries. We as a parliament will be the better for it. Our electorate offices—with the appropriate legal support, the appropriate Public Service support and the appropriate family relationships support—will be involved from time to time. No doubt our electorate offices and our staff particularly will appreciate a mechanism whereby we can take as much of the angst as possible out of this vexed issue. I welcome the legislation and I wish it a speedy passage.
