Yes, instead of continuing this filibuster. I would have thought it appropriate for the full details to be advised to the chamber so that they could be considered, because undoubtedly what will happen is what happened yesterday: a deal is struck with the Greens and then we have to vote on the amendments in virtually no time. If this parliament is to be treated with due consideration, then I think we are entitled to know what the deal is.
