We do need to scrutinise the legislation. My second point is that it is interesting how the opposition now want fair hours of sitting. I can remember sitting ridiculous hours many a time under the Howard government. I really appreciate them worrying about my waistline and making sure that I have my lunches and my tea breaks. Senator Xenophon and I have already sussed about sharing lunch together on the actual issues but, really, it is a joke. I have said before, many times, that we do need to have dinner breaks and lunch breaks. We need to have a break to allow us to really properly consider things. Bulldozing things through this chamber is wrong.
