The honourable member will resume his seat. We are debating the Intelligence Services Legislation Amendment Bill 2011 and the preamble says:

A Bill for an Act to amend laws relating to intelligence, and for other purposes

Ms Hall interjecting—

I do not need the assistance of the honourable member for Shortland.
