It is a pleasure to speak on the National Measurement Amendment Bill 2008. From time to time in this House, bills come before us that are truly of national significance—bills that are truly important, bills that truly make monumental changes to the way that we deal with life, business and a whole range of other areas, and bills that people line up to speak on. Some people would say that this is not one of them. I would say that they are wrong. This is actually a very important bill.
