You are welcome to stand up. You have a chance after this—in fact, I look forward to your standing up, Senator McGauran, and putting your position on the record. That would be a brave thing to do.

He is going to tell us how the independents are going to be protected and how we are going to deal with this issue of protecting families in regional towns. It is going to be an interesting debate. I think I should let him have his say.
