Mr Temporary Chairman, this may assist the chamber. When I spoke to Senator Siewert briefly before she left the chamber, as she had a committee meeting to go to, she expressed a preference—and I hope I am putting this correctly—for the right-of-entry matters to be dealt with at this stage. I think she will be back as soon as she can. But I am in the hands of the chamber as to what the preferred course is. I am keen to deal with the small-business definitional matters as well. But in relation to Senator Siewert’s preferred wish that I am passing on, I do not know whether that would be helpful at all.
